Summary

Leads the people, programs, and budgets of materials science R&D — managing scientists who research, characterize, and optimize advanced materials (metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites) using techniques such as XRD, SEM/TEM, mechanical testing, thermal analysis (DSC/EGA), surface analysis (XPS, AFM, EDS, SIMS, AES), and computational modeling (pymatgen, matminer, MAST-ML, pyMKS, ASE, DAMASK). Distinct from hands-on bench/IC characterization and from plastics/process focus areas: this management track is accountable for portfolio direction, resource and instrumentation allocation, safety compliance, cross-functional integration into product development, and securing funding rather than personally executing experiments.
