International Experience
I have extensive experience in research collaborations world-wide. Beyond the U.S.A., I have worked on specific projects with scientists, industrialists, and students in the following countries: The Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, France, The United Kingdom, Poland, Portugal, P.R. China, India, Pakistan, The Philippines, Japan, Colombia, and Mexico. I have coordinated large-scale research projects to successful conclusions. I am well-aware of and sensitive to cultural differences between countries, and am willing and able to negotiate these without presuppositions or prejudice.
