University of Washington: Master of Science, Chemical Engineering
Jacksonville State University: Bachelor of Science, Biology / Chemistry
Javelin Digital Design and
Development (Javelin 3D), Salt Lake City and Park City, UT:
Javelin 3D is a development firm that provides a full range of product development solutions; from concept drawings to production-ready designs. At Javelin, Ms. Emory coordinates new program development activities. Using the latest techniques, such as rapid prototyping, she creates unique anatomical components. She was one of the co-developers of a software package called Velocity2 (www.v2software.com) that is used to produce 3D image reconstructions from CT and MRI scan data and has also served as the Principal Investigator on several government and private-funded R&D programs, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, the Maitreya Project and the National Science Foundation.
Ms. Emory was responsible for winning and managing a 5-year Prime Contract supported by Wright Patterson AFB. During this program; Ceramic Hall Thruster Discharge Chamber Produced by Solid Freeform Fabrication Method, advanced ceramic components for innovative satellite systems were produced in-house by her team using the latest rapid manufacturing techniques.
Lone Peak Engineering, Draper UT
After receiving a prime contract from Batelle Memorial Institute, Ms. Emory founded Lone Peak Engineering in 1990. The company focused on the design, prototyping and production of industrial components out of engineered materials such as technical ceramics and advanced polymers. A variety of rapid prototyping systems were used. These included: Fused Deposition Modeling, Laminated Object Manufacturing, 3D Printing and Stereolithography. Short-run production was accomplished using an injection molding process for both polymeric and ceramic materials and a soft tooling approach to produce multiple urethane parts. Ms. Emory oversaw all of the company’s project development efforts. She was either a contributing author or author on all of the company’s R&D proposals. Over a ten-year period, Lone Peak was awarded seven (7) Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) awards and five (5) Phase II contracts. These programs were supported by the Navy, DARPA, NSF, NASA and the Army. Additional project work was supported by the Department of Energy and NIST.
EIMCO, Salt Lake City, UT
Ms. Emory joined EIMCO to manage the
company’s bio-reactor development program. These bioreactors were designed to treat refractory
gold-bearing ores and concentrates. A 1 ton per day pilot plant was built in
Zimbabwe and operated for one year.
A secondary application for the bio-reactor program was to process soils
contaminated with biodegradable hazardous materials. She was in charge of two laboratories, several engineers and
technicians, and oversaw the procedures for handling cyanide and arsenopyrite.
Battelle
Memorial Institute, Richland, WA
At Batelle, Ms. Emory worked on R&D
programs that ranged from the evaluation of workplace exposure carcinogens to
the assessment of potential releases of airborne radioactive materials. During these programs, she worked
directly with hazardous materials that ranged from plutonium to styrene oxide
and used a variety of laboratory equipment including GCs, Mass Specs and
Fluorometers. She also worked with the Advanced
Engineering Economics Group on Solar Power and Industrial Waste
Heat Recovery projects funded by the Department of Energy, Large Building
Energy Management Expert Systems Control funded by the Bonneville Power
Administration and Cogeneration System Analysis funded by the Pulp and Paper
Industry.
