... Current projects include studies of aqueous and elevated temperature corrosion phenomena, the effects of corrosive environments on fatigue behavior, the environmental cracking of alloys, and the role of corrosion science in understanding the planarization of metal interconnects on semiconductor devices, and electrodeposition of semiconductor interconnects. A fundamental understanding of material environment interactions is critical to engineering application of metallic materials.

... He also operates a state-of-the-art in-house laboratory for advanced materials development, characterization, and failure analysis. Prior to joining GE in 1997, he served in 2 concurrent positions within the NRC, which he joined in 1991: staff director, National Materials Advisory Board, and staff director, Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design.

... This work included developing planar laser induced fluorescence methods for characterizing and directly imaging plasmas produced during laser ablation processes, modeling gas-solid reactions, and modeling of binary, ternary, and quaternary phase diagrams. In 1994 he established the Materials Corrosion and Environmental Effects Laboratory within the Materials Science and Technology Division, where he lead efforts in a variety of areas, including aqueous and hightemperature oxidation of ceramics, alloys, and protective coatings, radiation effects on materials corrosion, gallium vaporization, sequestration of carbon dioxide, and development of high-temperature materials and seals, and carbon dioxide sequestration.

... She has extensive experience in assessing resistance to pitting corrosion per ASTM F 2129 and galvanic corrosion per ASTM G 71, as well as in designing customized testing protocols. She has developed expertise in the corrosion behavior of a broad range of implant materials such as stainless steel, nitinol, titanium alloys, and cobalt-chromium based alloys.

... degrees from Johns Hopkins University in materials science and engineering. His research interests focus on the relationship between material structure and composition and their environmental degradation or corrosion properties including hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, localized corrosion, and passivity.
From page 175...
... In 1991 he received his CER in business administration from Stanford University. He joined Medtronic, Inc., in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has held several technical and managerial positions over the years involving power sources, materials science, and biomedical engineering of implantable medical devices.
