SUMMARY:NASA Tech Talks: In-space Biomanufacturing and Advanced Material Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:We want HOU! Join us to discover NASA’s toughest tech challenges—and apply your skills and expertise to solve them. \nJoin us this month for an exciting NASA Tech Talk exploring in-space biomanufacturing and advanced material manufacturing aboard the International Space Station (ISS)! As NASA stimulates low-Earth orbit (LEO) by paving the way for commercial LEO destinations\, NASA’s In Space Production Applications (InSPA) portfolio is developing the next generation of applications that will benefit humanity on earth\, drive economic growth\,  enhance national security\, and propel human space exploration. \nHighlights: \n\nOverview of NASA’s InSPA portfolio.\nCurrent strategies for biomanufacturing and advanced material manufacturing in LEO.\nHow microgravity enhances the production process for a variety of applications.\nExplore the benefits to humanity\, national security\, economy\, and human exploration.\nRemaining challenges for productions at scale and how NASA plans to enable the commercial space destinations of the future.\n\nThis engaging lecture will offer insights into how NASA scientists and engineers are tackling the challenge of ensuring United States leadership in LEO\, and how these innovations will improve the lives of humans on Earth. \nPlease join us after the talk for drinks and networking at Second Draught! \n  \nAbout the Speakers \nMatthew E. Wallace is a manager at The Aerospace Corporation and helps lead NASA’s InSPA portfolio. He currently manages a team of scientists\, engineers\, and data analysts to help NASA’s ISS Research Integration office solve it biggest challenges. He has nearly 10 years of experience at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. He has served as a STEM Engagement Specialist and science communicator\, as well as a portfolio manager. He is also a US Army Captain and aviation officer in the Army National Guard and pilots the AH-64E Apache and UH-72A Lakota in a variety of combat training and mission operations. He leverages his NASA and military background to make connections across civil and defense aerospace arenas. He holds a B.S. from Texas A&M University and a M.Ed. in Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Math Education from Northeastern State University. Before working for NASA\, he taught AP Biology and Chemistry in the greater Houston area. \nMontgomery B. Goforth has more than 40 years of experience as both Engineer and Manager in a variety of highly technical space and defense-related efforts.  After working for a small defense contractor specializing in anti-submarine warfare\, he joined NASA’s Johnson Space Center in 1990.  He has held leadership positions in multiple JSC Directorates and Program Offices. In his current role as Assistant Director of the JSC Engineering Directorate\, he has established a framework to better focus Engineering’s efforts towards Human Spaceflight technology and systems development consistent with JSC and Agency goals for exploration. He has used this framework to guide Engineering’s internal investments and external partnerships supporting Lunar and Mars Exploration. Mr. Goforth was born in East Texas\, raised in Southern California and Arizona\, and graduated from Rice University (BSME 1982\, MSME 1987). \nAbout NASA Tech Talks \nIn these presentations\, occurring the fourth Thursdays of the month\, Mr. Montgomery Goforth and other aerospace subject matter experts will discuss the technology development challenges faced by NASA’s Johnson Space Center and the surrounding Aerospace community in our ongoing efforts as the hub of human spaceflight. Presentations will focus on the ways in which these challenges\, and the associated opportunities\, can be leveraged by Houston’s innovation community. We will continue to identify potential space/terrestrial technologies of interest to Human Spaceflight.  Past NASA Tech Talks have included topics such as: \nFrom Space to Startup: Leveraging NASA Technology and Innovation to Propel Your Growing Enterprise \nDisruptive Filter Technology for Spacecraft Water Treatment:  The New Promise of Graphene \nLunar dust capture using novel multiplexed inertial filter \nLunar Passive Fuel Cell Technologies: \nMicrobes in Space
