Résumé

Ph. D. from University of Alabama (1970)
Started at UAH in 1990

Academic Experience

Teach courses on materials properties, methods for materials characterization, and materials processing in space.

Research Interests

Heat and mass transport in materials processing, especially in microgravity. Presently active in the growth of protein crystals and in the growth of single crystal high temperature superconductors.
