Obtained and held Q and L clearances

Over 35 years as a professional Chemical Engineer focusing on technology and process development, full scale operations and modeling in nuclear waste treatment, nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear-based heat transfer. Proficiency gained in process engineering, Pilot Plant design, construction and testing, waste characterization, process modeling, process control, and cyber security. Expertise obtained in fluidization, filtration, absorption, distillation, mixing, dissolution, oxidation, stabilization, evaporation, vitrification, ion exchange, off-gas treatment, solids handling, high temperature melting, incineration, off gas treatment, and solvent extraction. Emphasis placed on safety through conduct of operations, quality, environmental compliance and program management; while striving for technical excellence and supporting creativity. Includes seven years of management positions where I discovered that teamwork and leadership are everything.

(Jan 1983-Oct 1995) Early Career: As an Engineer and Supervisor with Westinghouse and Exxon Nuclear Companies I conducted laboratory and pilot scale tests in support of a major nuclear fuel reprocessing facility. Tasks involved the design and construction of test facilities, preparation of the facilities’PFDs and P&IDs, development and completion of test plans and preparation of detailed results reports. Served 5 years as Facility Manger for the Pilot Plant and Laboratory Complex supporting the reprocessing plant.

(Oct 1995 - Dec 2008) Mid Career : As a Project Engineer with Lockheed Martin and Bechtel served as a national program manager responsible for the selection, funding and over site of national technology development efforts to treat low-level radioactive and hazardous waste across the DOE complex. Experience and expertise gained in mixed waste stabilization and on non thermal technologies as an alternative to incineration. In 2007 as a member of the next generation nuclear project I developed computer models of processes utilizing the industrial heat provided by the nuclear reactor.

(Dec 2008-Oct 2018) Late Career : As a Sr. Research Advisory Engineer with the Battelle Energy Alliance, lead efforts to develop and demonstrate the fabrication of advanced high level nuclear waste forms involving glass ceramics and ceramics. This effort involved development and testing of an innovative cold crucible induction melter; a method to be deployed going forward for high-level nuclear waste. As a research scientist, I routinely published in the trade and the professional periodicals. After retirement I engaged in volunteer efforts, continuing education and achieving goals of an adventurous and physical nature. I was a disaster responder for the Red Cross, a food bank associative and tutored math to teachers seeking to renew their accreditation. Over the last two years I have immersed myself in the study of quantum computing and quantum technologies in preparation to enroll in an online graduate program.
