Summary Statement

My research focused on electrically and optically active polymers and nanocomposites and their applications such as energy storage, sensors, electromagnetic interference shielding and photovoltaics. Being a President and Senior Scientist of a private R&D company in the USA, Fractal Systems Inc., for more than 15 years, I was responsible for funding the projects through government Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants, forming and managing the research teams and establishing productive partnerships and collaborations. Due to the success of our research efforts, a spin-off, Smart Polymers Research Corp. was formed in 2005 to focus on biosensors. Serving as a Director of Research with the XLIM Laboratory in Limoges for 2 years have further diversified my scientific, grant and project management experience. I have maintained an extensive international scientific network with many contacts in industry and academia which has helped sustain the business development aspects of my R&D efforts.

Throughout my scientific career, I have obtained first-hand academic and industrial experience in the development of advanced materials based on inherently conductive polymers and nanocomposite hybrid materials and manipulating material properties to suit different applications, such as: redox applications (bio-environmental sensors, capacitors and batteries); electronic and electro-optical applications (IR and fluorescent biosensors, including real-time sensors); photovoltaics and light emitting diodes; electromagnetic interference shielding and radar absorption applications. In addition, I have worked in other polymer related fields such as biomaterials and ferromagnetic materials. The results of my research have been summarized in 125 peer-reviewed publications and 25 patents. The various areas of interest are described below in more detail in the “work experience” section.

I have founded Fractal Systems, Inc. in 1997 to conduct research and development on conductive polymers, nanomaterials and nanocomposites for electronic and electrochemical applications, and helped incorporate a spin-off, “Smart Polymers Research Corporation” in 2005 to focus on biosensor development. I led the scientific staff through successful completion of more than 30 Phase I and 12 Phase II SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contracts, being a principal investigator (PI) on most and among key personnel on other projects. My duties involve management of all aspects of the organization including business development, program management, financial management and human resources. A brief summary of the research efforts is given below:

Another Phase I/II contracts were awarded by the Missile Defense Agency for the development of capacitors using high conductivity intrinsically conducting polymers as electrodes in aqueous or organic media. More recently, a Phase I was awarded by the Army and deals with supercapacitors using ionic liquid electrolytes.
  • Batteries: A Phase I contract was awarded by the Army for the development of polymer electrolytes for lithium ion batteries. Another effort was funded by Duracell which addressed corrosion in alkaline batteries. A non-SBIR effort funded by the Navy focused on lithium ion battery technology for deep-sea Naval applications. A recent Phase I/II was funded by Homeland Security for the development of high capacity Li-Ion batteries for tracking devices.
  • Organic Photovoltaics: A Phase I SBIR grant awarded by the Department of Energy focused on polymer solar cells.
  • EMI/RFI Shielding Materials: 3 Phase I and 2 Phase II SBIR contracts: Two Phase I /II contracts awarded by the Army and the Air Force focused on the use of multifunctional nanocomposite materials which incorporate conducting polymers as effective shielding and radar/microwave absorbing materials where the composition dictates the end use. A Phase I contract from the  Army, focused on the development of infrared-transparent conductive coatings for EMI shielding. Another effort funded by Infineon focused on EMI shielding of some of their electronic components using conducting polymers.
  • High Conductivity Polymers: Phase I & II contracts awarded by the Air Force dealt with the development of ordered conducting polymers with high conductivity through electromagnetic processing.

  • Water Remediation: A phase I contract from Homeland Security and a Phase I contract from  NASA dealt with the development of a photo-catalytic reactor based on doped forms of TiO2.
  • Biosensors: 10 Phase I and 2 Phase II SBIR programs: Two Phase I grants from NIH dealt with the use of conducting polymers (films and gels) as sensor electrodes for the specific detection of peptide neurotransmitters. A Phase I contract followed by a Phase II awarded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency were dedicated to the development of direct electrochemical DNA sensors using conducting polymers and nanocomposite electrodes. A Phase I and Phase II contracts awarded by the US Army dealt with the development of direct multispecific toxin sensors on conducting polymers and nanocomposite electrodes. A Phase I grant awarded by NSF dealt with fluorescent botulinum toxin detection using modified conducting polymer substrates. The latest Phase I and Phase II SBIR projects from the Environmental Protection Agency focused on fluorescent quantum dot toxin real-time biosensor development.
  • Gas Sensors: A Phase I contract funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and a Phase I and Phase II funded by NASA focused on the development of specific sensors for the detection of gases (carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides) using ultrathin ordered films of conducting polymer nanocomposites.
  • Humidity/Temperature Sensors: A phase I contract from the Navy dealt with the development of a cumulative humidity and temperature sensor based on ultrathin conducting polymer films for monitoring the health of stored or deployed munition.
  • Infrared Sensors: A phase I contract awarded by the Air Force dealt with the development of an uncooled thermal detector based on a protein extracted from the lobster shell.
