Energy Harvesting and Efficient Storage in Harsh Environments (Energy Harvesting and Storage USA 2012)

Troy earned his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Western Michigan University. During University, he participated in the design of a solar vehicle during which he developed an interest in green energies and low power electronics. Since college, Troy has worked at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Indian Head, working in various areas of fuze development including sensor integration and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). He is currently working towards a Master's Degree in Systems Engineering. Work interests include RF communications, programming, analog/digital design, and DC/DC converters.

As a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Energetics Center, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) is a leader in the Navy's Energetics Enterprise. Its mission is to provide research, development, test and evaluation and in-service support of energetics and energetic materials for propulsion systems, ordnance & pyrotechnic devices and fuzing for Navy, Joint Forces, and the Nation. Capabilities include research, test, and engineering of chemicals, propellants, explosives, related electronic devices and associated ordnance equipment.

 

In short, the U.S. Navy and other Federal Government agencies and allied nations come to NSWC IHD for energetic systems solutions — the organization supports the warfighter of today, anticipates their future needs, and makes discoveries for the next generation.
