- I developed thin-sheet friction stir welding for space-based radiators, patent pending.
- Given the task of finding a phase-change organic material with thermal properties of water that occupied a specific volume for a sample container launched from space for atmospheric return and capture, I developed a variable volume containment system for water during phase changes. System patent pending.
- Recommended a new material for containing water in an astronaut "cold pack", solving a problem with low-temperature brittleness and leakage with continuous temperature cycling; patent pending.
