Experience Summary
At the US Army Institute of Surgical Research, I developed: Liquid and powder dressings for
wounds using emulsions and basic polymer science and engineering expertise; photopolymerizable tissue and blood vessel adhesives; and automatic tourniquets for wear in a combat
uniform providing the solider with self-tourniqueting capability of upper- and lower-limbs. At
Georgia Tech, I founded and managed the Polymer & Coatings Program within the ElectroOptics, Environmental & Materials Laboratory, conducted research and development in
fundamental and applied polymer science and coatings technology. With Cook Paint & Varnish,
performed and supervised research and development of resins for industrial coatings and fiberglass composites including synthesis, pilot plant, production, and testing phases. At Bechtel
Group, Inc., I provided technical services internationally in areas of industrial coatings, polymers
and composite materials. At the University of Southern Mississippi, conducted graduate
research involving polymer synthesis, characterization, kinetics studies,viscometry and coating
formulations. As Technical Director with Wrape Enterprises, performed research and
development in industrial air and water pollution control systems including pilot and prototype
designs.
Current Fields of Interest
I am conducting research in biomedical materials including dressings for wounds, broad
spectrum antimicrobial and biocompatible emulsions, and lightweight automatic tourniquets for
casualty-care programs. .Electroactive polymers; thin film liquid crystal displays; plasma
polymerization, metal and other vapor deposition/sputtering; manufacture and testing of plastic
containers including PET bottles; polymer-solvent intermolecular reactions; design and testing of
plastic and composite materials; low volatile organic content (VOC) coatings including flameless
and plasma spray, water-borne and high solids coatings for corrosion protection of metal
