... He spent 30 years at the Air Force Wright Laboratories, where he was the leacler of a research group working on the development and optimization of metallic and intermetallic materials for use in the hot sections of aircraft turbine engines. His earlier research inclucled work on the fracture toughness of ceramics; deformation mechanisms in two-phase alloys; creep ant!
