Scalable Testing of Autonomous systems Testing and Evaluation and Verification and Validation Cyber: Mission assurance and effectiveness Operating securely in an insecure world S&T Focus Areas From $0 in FY2013 to $12.3M The S&T Focus Areas task facilitates cooperation and collaboration among Components and optimizes development of selected S&T efforts across the DoD enterprise. Select technology areas are examined and projects are initiated to address gaps or opportunities. Efforts are formulated and managed by teams of subject matter experts drawn from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Services, and Defense Agencies. FY 2014 Plans: Candidate projects for S&T Focus Areas include: exceptional materials properties and processing routes through electromagnetic field - materials coupling; active informatics photonic materials; development of models and architecture for digital curation; nanoscale battery architectures; and 3-dimensional (3D) stereochemistry through multitasking polymer catalysts; garbage and waste mining – creation of material stock for mobile manufacturing.

Also, he is Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University. Education PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science from Duke University in 1998 MS in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science from Duke University in 1995 BS in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College in 1993 Program: Mechanical Behavior of Materials http://www.arl.army.mil/www/default.cfm?page=183 The Mechanical Behavior of Materials program seeks to establish the fundamental relationships between the structure of materials and their mechanical properties as influenced by composition, processing, environment, and loading conditions. The program emphasizes research to develop innovative new materials with unprecedented mechanical, and other complementary, properties. …… Recent MURI Topics: FY11 Flex-Activated Materials FY10 Ion Transport in Complex Heterogeneous Organic Materials
