`Chair on issues regarding Mechanical Engineering curriculum, research, and hiring; oversee
`purchase and installation of major instrumentation and infrastructure for research and teaching;
`oversee departmental safety and academic integrity. Attend meetings with University leadership
`on behalf of the Chair when absent.
`• President of Atlas Medtech LLC (current). Atlas Medtech is a University of Pittsburgh startup
`company commercializing a rapidly deployable surgical retractor developed in Dr. Vipperman’s
`lab.
`• Founding Chair of the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering Academic
`Integrity Committee (current). Developed school-wide academic integrity policy in accordance
`with university guidelines. Chair bimonthly meetings of the Academic Integrity Committee, which
`has representation from every Swanson School of Engineering department and student leaders.
`Developed outreach materials and give presentations to large groups of faculty, graduate, and
`undergraduate students. Oversee the development of educational and outreach materials related
`to academic integrity intended to build and enhance a culture of integrity within the school.
`Inaugural (faculty) Cochair of Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science
`Students Advisory Board. Oversaw the establishment of the Student Advisory Board in response
`to intense national political and social unrest in order to best support our student population (the
`committee of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students represents a broad cross section of
`background, race, gender identities, sexual orientations); In addition to chairing monthly
`meetings, oversaw the development of a mission statement, student climate survey, outreach
`materials and activities, and development of diversity, equity, and inclusion modules for courses.
`• Graduate Director, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. Responsible
`for 120 MS and 45 PhD students; Oversaw 45% growth in PhD students and 40% growth in part-
`time MS program, including offering courses at a satellite campus; Oversaw the evaluation and
`selection of new graduate students, including departmental offers for aid; Evaluated the
`curriculum developed for the new MS in Nuclear Engineering program; Certified graduations
`and approved new courses; Oversaw the external 10-year review of the graduate program.
`• Chair of the Noise Control and Acoustics Division for the American Society of Mechanical
`Engineers. Conducted the business of the Division and chaired the annual technical planning and
`executive committee meetings; Interfaced the division with the national office of ASME; Sought
`nominations for the prestigious Rayleigh Lecturer for next year’s conference; attended ASME
`Leadership Development Training.

`Engineers. Oversaw the nomination and selection process for ASME’s most prestigious annual
`award in acoustics while conducting the meetings of the committee.
`• Chair, ANSI S1.1 Acoustical Terminology standard working group for the Acoustical Society of
`America. Conducted several in-person meetings of the working group; collected input from the
`working group and Society members at large that was discussed at length and used to edit and
`revise the content of the S1.1 standard.
`• Chair of the Pittsburgh Section of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (1,500 members).
`Chaired the monthly Executive Committee meetings; interfaced with the ASME national office;
`the business of the Section, including a monthly newsletter and technical and outreach
`programming; routinely connected with members about items of potential interest; attended
`ASME Leadership Development Training.
`• Program and Education Chairs for Pittsburgh Section of American Society of Mechanical
`Engineers. Developed monthly programs on a variety of topics for our members, which included
`at least one course for continuing education credits per year, and an annual student/professional
`mixer.
