There, he conducted a research program on mechanical and thermal coupling of pulsed lasers to targets using high-energy-laser facilities in the United States and United Kingdom, and he developed a model for vacuum laser impulse prediction. From 1994 to 1995, he was Associate Director of the Alliance for Photonic Technology at LANL. In 1995, he formed Photonic Associates, which is devoted to applications of laser space propulsion. He is the author of 110 papers and 40 invited talks and an editor of a book on laser ablation, and he has been the organizer and chair of seven symposia on high-power laser ablation. He is a Governing Board Member of the American Institute of Beamed Energy Propulsion, which gave him its lifetime achievement award in 2005. He is a Senior Member of the AIAA.
