BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF MEMBERS: ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT BOARD

LYLE H. SCHWARTZ, Chair, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, retired director of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and currently a senior research scientist with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Maryland. He was a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University for 20 years and the director of North-western’s Materials Research Center for 5 of those years. He then became the director of the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he served for more than 12 years. His responsibilities included management of the research and development (R&D) agenda in the context of a government laboratory. Dr. Schwartz subsequently assumed responsibility for basic research on structural materials of interest to the U.S. Air Force, in addition to the areas of propulsion, aeromechanics, and aerodynamics. He then completed his government service as director of the AFOSR with responsibility for the entire basic research program of the Air Force. His current interests include government policy for R&D, particularly for materials R&D; materials science education at K-12 levels; and enhanced public understanding of the roles and importance of technology in society. Dr. Schwartz received both his B.S. in engineering and Ph.D. in materials science from Northwestern University.


DONALD M. CHIARULLI is a professor of computer science and computer engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. His expertise includes experimental computer architecture, and optics and

optoelectronics for dense interconnection networks. In the context of building experimental systems, his work also includes a significant effort in the development of new design tools for the modeling and simulation of these systems. Dr. Chiarulli holds patents in computer and related optical and optoelectronic hardware. His current research work is in the areas of chip-level optoelectronic interconnections, optical-electronic-mechanical multidomain computer-aided design, optical memory systems, robotics, and voice input/speech output interfaces for embedded system applications. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Louisiana State University.


DAVID E. CROW, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, is retired senior vice president of engineering at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Engine Company. He is also currently a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Connecticut. At Pratt and Whitney he was influential in design, development, testing, and manufacturing in support of a full line of engines for aerospace and industrial applications. Dr. Crow was involved with products that include high-thrust turbofans for large commercial and military aircraft, turboprops and small turbofans for regional and corporate aircraft and helicopters, booster engines and upper-stage propulsion systems for advanced launch vehicles, turbopumps for the space shuttle, and industrial engines for land-based power generation. His involvement included sophisticated computer modeling and standards work to bring constant improvements in the performance and reliability of the company’s products while at the same time reducing noise and emissions.


MARJORIE ERICKSON is an expert both in the development of physics-based models of material behavior in the prediction of material failure and in the performing of risk assessments. Dr. Erickson is the president of Phoenix Engineering Associates, Inc., and an adjunct professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Maryland. She conducts research and consults with industry regarding fracture safety assessment methodology for steel and other alloy components. She provides these services in the areas of assessing the integrity and durability of civil, mechanical, and marine structures fabricated from metallic materials. Specific work that Dr. Erickson has performed includes developing and using integrated, predictive models of material behavior to assess the current status and predict the remaining safe life, under known or expected operating and accident-event conditions, for nuclear pressure vessels and other alloy applications, including fracture safety assessment and life extension of aging aircraft and pipelines. Dr. Erickson received her Ph.D. in materials science from the University of Virginia.


GEORGE T. GRAY III is a Laboratory Fellow and staff member in the dynamic properties and constitutive modeling team in the Materials Science Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). He came to LANL after holding a 3-year visiting scholar position at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg in Hamburg, Germany, having received his Ph.D. in materials science in 1981 from Carnegie Mellon University. As a staff member (1985-1987) and later team leader (1987-2003) in the Dynamic Materials Properties and Constitutive Modeling Section in the Structure/Property Relations Group (MST-8) at LANL, Dr. Gray has directed a research team working on investigations of the dynamic response of materials. He conducts fundamental, applied, and focused programmatic research on materials and structures, in particular in response to high-strain-rate and shock deformation. His research is focused on experimental and modeling studies of substructure evolution and mechanical response of materials. These constitutive and damage models are used in engineering computer codes to support large-scale finite element modeling simulations of structures including those involved in national defense (Department of Energy, Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency); industry (GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Bettis); foreign object damage; and manufacturing. Dr.

The charge of the Army Research Laboratory Technical Assessment Board (ARLTAB) is to provide biannual assessments of the scientific and technical quality of the research, development, and analysis programs at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The advice provided in this report focuses on technical rather than programmatic considerations.

The Board is assisted by six National Research Council (NRC) panels, each of which focuses on the portion of the ARL program conducted by one of ARL's six directorates. When requested to do so by ARL, the Board also examines work that cuts across the directorates. The Board has been performing assessments of ARL since 1996. The current report summarizes its finding for the 2009-2010 period, during which 96 volunteer experts in fields of science and engineering participated in the following activities: visiting ARL annually, receiving formal presentations of technical work, examining facilities, engaging in technical discussions with ARL staff, and reviewing ARL technical materials.

The Board continues to be impressed by the overall quality of ARL's technical staff and their work and applauds ARL for its clear, passionate concern for the end user of its technology--the soldier in the field--and for ARL's demonstrated mindfulness of the importance of transitioning technology to support immediate and longer-term Army needs. ARL staff also continue to expand their involvement with the wider scientific and engineering community. In general, ARL is working very well within an appropriate research and development (R&D) niche and has been demonstrating significant accomplishments.
