Tom Fuller The InstructorsTom Fuller, a principal research engineer at Georgia Tech Research Institute, directs the Center for Innovative Fuel-cell and Battery Technologies. He joined the faculty of Georgia Tech's College of Engineering after worked as director of engineering at United Technologies Corp. Fuel Cells. He previously worked as a post-doctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Fuller also spent six years on active duty in the U. S. Navy and served in the Naval Reserve until 2001, when he retired at the rank of Commander.Grayson Walker is the advanced technologies manager at General Dynamics Land Systems for the EFV program. Prior to that, he served as the survivability program manager for the EFV program. Currently he is participating on the GDLS Power and Energy Action Team exploring technologies and processes to improve the system efficiency and lower life cycle costs for combat vehicle through the use of alternative energy approaches. He established and chairs the Alternative Energy Technology Club at GDLS as a means of exploring new technologies in alternative energy. Walker worked as a research chemist in fuel cells and batteries from 1967 to 1980. Chris Bolton is the chief of the Technical Management Division in Program Manager-Mobile Electric Power Office, Fort Belvoir, supporting the fielding of mobile power across DoD.
