About
I'm on the College of Engineering's Research Faculty and Director of the Qualcomm® Thinkabit Lab™ at Virginia Tech in the Falls Church campus. I'm also part of the Office of Education research and Outreach, and on the Faculty of the College of Natural Resources and Environment and Center for leadership in Global Sustainability. I create, develop, and facilitate programs (and funding) for technical and professional (STEM) education and workforce initiatives in the Washington, D.C. area, primarily in Northern Virginia through partnerships between local schools, community college programs, and Virginia Tech. I build collaborations and partnerships engaging other regional school systems, and allied higher education, non-profit, Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development, and industry partners.I am also President Emeritus of the Washington Academy of Sciences, and an active Board member of the Children's Science Center in Northern Virginia.
