Mechanical engineer with 25+ years of experience in the field of radioisotope space power systems. I currently work at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) serving as a design review board member for the development of a dynamic radioisotope generator for NASA, subject matter expert for the module reduction and monitoring process, technical point of contact for an advanced thermoelectric technology, Skutterudite, and technical led for the current refurbishment project of a de-fueled heritage generator, General Purpose Heat Source Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (GPHS-RTG). Have led teams of engineers and technicians in the qualification of the structural components of the current state of the art space power generator, the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, MMRTG and the development of the advanced heat to electricity conversion technology, Alkaline Metal Thermal to Electric Conversion (AMTEC).
