Meet another EEDP… John Loudis
Hi everybody! One of the things that I wanted to do as blog editor for the Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) is give you an opportunity to meet some of my Edison colleagues. First up, meet my colleague John…
I joined the EEDP program in February of 2009 and, since joining, have had the opportunity to work on a number of interesting projects over the course of my first year in the program.
Technology Review recognizes GE as top innovator for the Smart Grid
MIT’s Technology Review magazine just released their first annual list of top 50 innovative companies in the world. I know the entire Smart Grid team at GE was thrilled to see GE recognized for its leading efforts in developing a Smarter Grid, ranging from advanced technology development, pilot demonstrations of key emerging grid management capabilities, and commercial deployment in forward-thinking cities such as Miami and Tokyo.
Ultrafine grained titanium forging at GE Global Research
Today I met with my colleague, Rich DiDomizio, a metallurgist at GE Global Research, to discuss his work on ultrafine grained (UFG) titanium. Rich works on an interdisciplinary team in Ceramic and Metallurgy Technologies and with external partner ATI Allvac through funding by National Institute of Standards and Technology Advanced Technology Program to study the properties of UFG titanium billet stock. The goal of his work is to enable a bulk near-net shape forging technology for titanium alloys. Near-net shape forging of titanium will have a big impact on manufacturing costs because of the significantly reduced machining and scrap rates.
Check out this short video I took with Rich (and team members Steve Buresh and Ray Ropitzky) on the hot forging of a titanium billet at GE Global Research.
This video was prepared by GE Global Research under an award from NIST. The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NIST or the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Visit to the NASA Glenn Research Center
I recently had a chance to visit the NASA Glenn Research Center and meet with some of the folks there that are working on high temperature electronics and sensors. This is a topic that is rather near and dear to my heart, and I’m sure I’ll be writing about it quite a bit more over the next few months. In any case, the Sensors and Electronics group in NASA has been developing sensors and electronics in Silicon Carbide and have demonstrated some very impressive electronics building blocks that can operate at temperatures of 600C. When you have a minute visit their website http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/SiC/ their publications section is particularly good.
Biosciences is featured in the Schenectady Daily Gazette
If you missed reading this article yesterday over your Sunday coffee, check it out now (on page A12)! Ameerah Cetawayo from the Schenectady Gazette wrote an article about our Biosciences lab, “General Electric’s Biosciences unit on leading edge of biotech research.”
http://www.dailygazette.net/Default/Skins/SPE/Client.asp?Enter=true&skin=SPE&Daily=SPE&BaseHref=SPE/2010/02/20&AppName=1
You’ll see quotes from Senior Vice President Mark Little (whose blog entry on Huffington Post I linked to recently), Biosciences Global Techonolgy Leader Christoph Hergersberg, In Vivo Molecular Imaging Lab Manager, Kathy Bove, and fellow blogger Megan Rothney (talking about fat again!). John Nelson, Bob Filkins, and John Burczak are also highlighted for their work on DNA Sequencing and Digital Pathology.
