I joined the faculty at Central Michigan University in Fall, 2002 & have been involved in battery research since 2009. Through funding from the U.S. Army (Tank and Automotive Research and Development Engineering Center, TARDEC, and Ground Vehicle Systems Center, GVSC), I have worked on the development of novel anode materials for Li-ion batteries from 2009-2022 and the development of cathode materials, including single atom catalysts (SACs) for metal-S batteries since 2022. Our first highly cited paper in this field was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) in 2010 - the first to report the Li-capacity of graphene nanoribbons prepared via chemical unzipping of carbon nanotubes. I have extensive knowledge of the Li-ion literature and experience with electrode fabrication and testing using both Princeton Applied Research and Maccor battery testing systems. I also have extensive experience working with organic carbonates as electrolytes for Li-ion batteries a...

• I am a recognized thought leader in process safety — co-author of two CCPS publications that define the standard of care in process safety litigation and governance: Process Safety: Leadership from the Boardroom to the Front Line (Wiley/CCPS, 2019) and Guidelines for Process Safety in Outsourced Manufacturing, 2nd Edition (CCPS, 2026). When opposing counsel challenges the standard of care, my opinions carry the weight of the CCPS frameworks I helped author. • My standard-of-care authority is grounded in 44 years of hands-on experience — 21 of them in direct operational roles including Plant Manager, Production Leader, and Site Director — running the chemical facilities where process safety is won or lost at the front line. That operational foundation distinguishes my analysis from purely academic or staff-function experts. • At Dow Chemical (Fortune 50), across two positions I led the corporate initiative that achieved a cumulative 90% reduction in Tier 1 incidents over ten year...
