Dr. ; reco is a principal materials scientist in the<br />
Energy Systems Division at Argonne National Laboratory;<br />
Illinois. He currently leads pro;ects that focus on<br />
improving the reliability of wind turbine drivetrains<br />
through advanced tribological testing and materials.<br />
His other research areas include surface engineering;<br />
nano-colloidal lubricant additives and contact failure<br />
investigation. ; reco recently completed an assignment<br />
in the Wind and Water Power Technology Office at the<br />
- .S. Department of Energy;s headCuarters in Washington;<br />
D.C.; where he provided technical management<br />
support.<br />
