R & D Activities:
Development of a Surgical Simulator System for ETSU Quillen College of Medicine - Ongoing collaborative R&D effort with Dr. Marty Olsen, Dr. Paul Sims, and Dr. Martin Eason. Patent application submitted Jan. 16, 2007. Funding includes $4,000 ETSU Instructional Development Grant (Fall 06-Spring 07) for "Model Design and Development for a System and Method of Teaching, Practicing, and Evaluating Surgical Techniques" and release time (Spring 2006 & Fall 2007)

Development of a Radio-controlled, Robotic Jockey. Funded by Dixie Stampede, Pigeon Forge, TN (Ongoing).

"The Sustainability of a Spherical Soap Film (Bubbles) in Microgravity" for NASA's Reduced Gravity Flight Program for Museums and Science Centers. This project, a collaborative effort among The Hands On! Museum, ETSU, and the Greeneville High School, was built and tested during the summer of 2006 and flew August 10th and 11th. My responsibilities included primary designer of the bubble making apparatus and the design, layout, fabrication, assembly , & testing of the experimental enclosure.
