Synergistic Activities up

Block II Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer Program for the US Army: I am the Program Manager for this program. It has required the integration of scientific and engineering contributions from five divisions at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a university research group, a small technical business, and a large manufacturing company. Our instrument was chosen for an R&D-100 award in 2000.
