Research

I have an extensive experience writing research grants, performing research work, and reporting results. Most of my grants have been Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants, from Phase 1 to Phase 3 in scope.

SBIR Grants

I have been generously awarded the following research grants totalling over $4M in value. For each of these projects, I was the PI and/or the primary person responsible for the project implementation:
