|Professional Background:                                                     |
|Dr. H. Felix Wu holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell         |
|University (1987) and a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern     |
|University (1979). He has more than 16 years work experience in industry with|
|a broad-based expertise in fibers, polymers, composite materials/structures, |
|and engineering mechanics. He joined the Advanced Technology Program (ATP),  |
|National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a Program Manager in|
|the Office of Chemistry and Life Sciences in July 1997. As an ATP Program    |
|Manager, Dr. Wu has managed more than 43 ATP-funded R&D projects working |
|with various industries including automotive, offshore exploration &     |
|production, civil infrastructure, metals/ceramics, and life sciences.        |
|Prior to joining ATP, Dr. Wu was a Senior Project Leader at the Owens Corning|
|Science and Technology Center, Granville, Ohio, where he conducted           |
|fundamental/applied research and led R&D efforts in long-term durability,|
|materials interfaces, mechanical behaviors, micromechanics, surface science, |
|fiber forming and polymer processing of reinforcements and their composites. |
|As a Senior Project Leader at the Alcoa Technical Center, Aluminum Company of|
|America, Alcoa Center, Pennsylvania, Dr. Wu was the key contributor in the   |
|development of a new family of fiber-metal laminates (structural hybrid      |
|laminates). He also conducted R&D programs and led R&D efforts in    |
|fiber/metal hybrid laminates, statistical/materials characterization,        |
|composite interfaces, quality assurance, and design allowable development for|
|aerospace and automotive industries. Dr. Wu was a Mechanical/Design Engineer |
|for Control Data Corporation, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he developed new|
|electromechanical components for computer peripherals.                       |
|Dr. Wu has been honorably appointed as an Adjunct Professor in the Department|
|of Materials Science and Engineering at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute   |
|and State University since 1999. He is also serving an Advisory Committee    |
|member for a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear       |
|Engineering at the Kansas State University since 1999.                       |
|His research interests include composites, construction materials and        |
|processes, structural health monitoring, materials interfaces, damage        |
|tolerance/fracture, creep-rupture, environmental durability, biomedical      |
|devices and tissue engineering. Dr. Wu has published a combination of more   |
|than 135 papers in scientific journals, technical conferences, and technical |
|reports pertaining to his areas of interest. He is a Fellow of the Ohio      |
|Academy of Science and has recently been selected as a Fellow in the 2003-   |
|2004 U.S. Department of Commerce Science and Technology Fellowship (ComSci)  |
|Program.                                                                     |
