Technical Director of Research and Innovation, International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory
Dr. Reeves is a Technical Director of Research and Innovation at the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory. In this role, he oversees science and technology research projects conducted on the ISS. He has a passion for research and technology development and a drive to demonstrate the utility of the ISS as an exceptional research platform. Dr. Reeves has been an experimental researcher in materials science for more than 13 years. His research at the University of Florida investigated synthesis and separation techniques of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). His doctoral research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst investigated novel synthesis techniques for the scalable, templated production of compound semiconducting nanoparticles (i.e., quantum dots) using directed self-assembly of templating nanostructures. He led numerous SBIR grants as a principal investigator at a defense contractor company. In this role, Dr. Reeves’ interests encompassed harnessing solid-state physics at the nanometer length-scale for energy applications. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida.
