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

Oliver Barham is a Mechanical Engineer with experience working in the aerospace and defense fields. He has worked on projects such as unfurlable mesh space reflectors, fuzing for munitions, and associated sensors and technologies for private industry and the federal government. He has experience with MEMS sensor and energy harvesting component design, and finite element modeling of structural, electro-magnetic and electro-thermal problems. He is a graduate of The University of Pittsburgh and North Carolina State University.

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.
