I have twenty years of industrial research experience in the surface and interfacial properties of both inorganic/organic and polymeric materials. I am a tenacious problem solver and owe much of my success to the relationships that I have developed with academic and industrial colleagues, and the co-operative education and intern students that have worked with me. I am a firm believer in learning by applying basic scientific principles and good experimental design to real world problems.
Over the course of my industrial career I have been engaged in the education and mentoring of junior scientists, engineers, and a great many intern and co-operative education students. My experience has taught me that learning is a co-operative exercise. I strive to push my students and myself beyond our “comfort zones” and approach new problems and concepts by applying basic scientific principle ... read more

That method of accomplishment, in turn, becomes habit forming. And as an instructor, little compares with the feeling when an idea takes root within a student.
I have extensive experience in academic work, specifically in the areas of math and science. In earning both a BS and MS in Materials Science and Engineering, I not only developed an understanding of mathematical and scientific principles, but I learned how to work and communicate in groups to further common interests. As a graduate student at the University of Washington, I served as a teaching assistant, leading both recitatio ... read more
