Under the coordination of Dr. Cliff Lissenden, the Ben Franklin Center of Excellence in Structural Health Monitoring will be hosting their third meeting at Penn State on April 16-17, 2008 at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel. The meeting will highlight guest keynote speakers, Ignacio Perez from the Office of Naval Research and Mark Derriso from the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Conference participants and presenters from industry, government, and academia will be present. A preliminary agenda includes both, keynote and technical presentations, project reports, poster displays, lab tours and breakout groups. Lunches will be provided and a reception followed by dinner on Wednesday evening.
Hotel reservations at the Penn Stater can be made by calling (800) 233-7505. We have reserved a room block ($105/night) with the reservation identification code BEN0415.
We look forward to seeing you in Happy Valley!
Keynote Presentations:
Asset Health Management of Naval System, Ignacio Perez, Office of Naval Research, Arlington VA
Dr. Perez obtained his B.S. in Physics from the University of Barcelona, Spain. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Rutgers University, NJ in 1987. He joined the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), Warminster PA, in the Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) group in 1990 and became team leader 1995. In 2002 he moved to Washington DC where he became the Composite Materials and NDE Program Officer at the Office of Naval Research where he currently works.
Structural Health Monitoring Challenges and Applications, Mark M. Derriso, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright Patterson Air Force Base
Mr. Derriso is a team leader in the Advanced Structural Concept Branch of the Air Vehicles Structures Division. He has years of experience in research and development of advanced materials and structures. Mark also has vast experience in developing unique data acquisition and controls systems for testing aircraft structures and materials. Currently, he serves as the AFRL technical lead for Integrated Systems Health Management (ISHM). Mr. Derriso is also the technical lead for the research area of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). His current research efforts are in the area of health management for fielded and new weapon systems. Previously, Mark worked at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) where he performed research on metal matrix composites (MMC) and ceramic matrix composites (CMC) for the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) program. Mr. Derriso has an A.A.S. degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from Kentucky State University, a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Wright State University and a M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dayton.
