Biography
Statement
A Sigma Xi Member since 2008, I am honored to have this opportunity to serve as a member of the Committee on Nominations. Strong and qualified leadership is essential for any organization, and candidacies for key positions such as President‐Elect and Treasurer must be evaluated carefully, a major responsibility I look forward to fulfilling to the best of my ability. I had the opportunity to serve on numerous scientific boards and committees during my career, and my work of the past 30 years as member of several committees as described in my CV gives me a good overview of the state of science and technology and the main challenges that must be addressed. We need leaders committed to advocate for the promotion of excellence in research and teaching.
