Mr. Glen King is a Senior Materials Research Engineer currently working with the Integrated Structural Assembly for Advanced Composites (ISAAC). ISAAC is the automated composite fiber tape placement robot that fabricates complex composite parts for both research and functional applications. Mr. King has been an employee of NASA Langley Research Center in materials processing and development for over 30 years. He earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Old Dominion University and a MS in Optical Engineering from Norfolk State University. Much of his previous experience is in thin film materials development for power generation and device applications, such as thermoelectric, photoelectric, and pyroelectric devices. He is co-inventor for over 20 patents, many developed from thin film materials research projects. His current research interest includes development of neutron radiation shielding materials with structural functionality that will enable long duration spacecraft missions beyond Earth’s magnetosphere. For the Mars Ice Home Project, he also investigated radiation shielding film materials suitable for a deployable habitat on Mars using it-situ water.
