Panel Member Bios:
Dr. Paul A. Lagacé
Dr. Paul A. Lagacé is a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and of Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he also received his S.B., S.M., and Ph.D. He also is the Director of the Technology Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Structures (TELAMS) there. He is a highly regarded international authority on the response and failure of composite structures, and is recognized as a leader for the development of composite structures technology and the safety of aircraft structural systems. He has more recently pursued work related to broader systems issues particularly dealing with the use of technology and associated risk. He is a member of several societies and national committees, a fellow of the AIAA, the ASC, and the ASTM, and has served for a number of years as President of the ICCM (International Committee on Composite Materials) being recognized as a World Fellow of Composites and Honorary Member of the Executive Council.
Pete George
Pete George is a Boeing Associate Technical Fellow Engineer and SAMPE Fellow with over 30 years of experience with composite material characterization, processing and application development including radomes, space systems and commercial aircraft. Pete has worked internally and collaboratively with academia and industry to advance knowledge and readiness for carbon fiber composites recycling.
Josanlet Villegas, PhD
Dr. Josie Villegas is currently Product Development Manager in the Composite R&I Group. In her role she has responsibilities for the development of products, advancing key platforms technologies as well as executing the IP strategy for composite products. Josie joined Solvay (former Cytec) in 2006 as Industrial PostDoc in Specialty Chemicals R&D team and after few months took on the Research Scientist role. In 2010, she transferred to the Composite Materials Business Unit where she has held positions of increasing responsibility in the Technology organization. She has been responsible for the development of several materials systems as well as being the Producibility liaison with customers. Josie holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Connecticut.
Luis Leon, Moderator
Luis Leon is a retired Boeing Associate Technical Fellow and Fellow ASM International, Certified TRIZ Practitioner with nearly 39 years of primarily driving right solutions for aircraft design via optimized materials and process methods for propulsion applications. Titanium, nickel, aluminum and ceramic matrix composites are his areas of expertise.
