Experience
Physical Scientist, Research Program Manager
Sep 2010 — Present · Hanover, NH, US
I lead large multi-laboratory, interdisciplinary research teams, totaling more than 100 individuals, contributing to successful research outcomes in weather and terrain-impacted geospatial products including cross-country mobility, sensor performance, dust lofting and transport modeling, and geospatial systems development. Our successes are enabling multiple technology transition opportunities to Army programs of record (PORs) and DOD agencies. I have a strong history of leading research, development, integration, technology transition, and formulating and executing the ERDC research programs. I lead the \"Army Terrestrial-Environmental Modeling and Intelligence System (ARTEMIS)\" Science and Technology Objective-Research, and have received/directed customer-sponsored projects from the Intelligence Community, US Air Force Weather (AFW), the DOD Modeling and Simulation Coordinating Office, the DOD Office of the Secretary of Defense, and USAF Space Command’s Space Based Environmental Monitoring Analysis of Alternatives for the Defense Weather Satellite Follow-on. I am a successful business developer and manager, using business analysis, trend forecasting, and knowledge of DOD research gaps to develop strategic plans, establish milestones and grow projects in ERDC focus areas to expand core competencies and emerging technical mission areas. I was key in formulating and managing ARTEMIS, ERDC\'s Total Watershed Decision Support project, a USAF-Army-NASA partnership for terrain modeling, the NASA-ERDC Transboundary Water initiative, and the Army-AF dust/aerosol partnership. I developed partnerships with universities, formulated a research network to grow influence, increased ERDCs research pipeline capacity and capability, and increased revenue through program increases. I developed strong ties to US Army, USAF, and the National Intelligence Community enabling transition of key technologies to AFW, Intelligence Community and Army PORs.
