- Expanded the Office of Research and Technology Transfer in order to strengthen the commercialization and research compliance programs throughout the 15 University of Texas System institutions.
- Served as co-chair of the Texas Alliance for Nanotechnology to establish a collaborative federal laboratory in Texas.
- Founded 2 business incubators (Arlington, TX and Tuscaloosa, AL).
- Received the "Deal of the Year" Award by the Licensing Executives Society for the negotiation of a $50M startup company as one of the first startup companies formed by The University of Alabama.
- Served as member of NSF taskforce entitled EPSCoR 2020 to plan future of EPSCoR program.
- Testified to a House appropriations committee in May, 2005 on behalf of the EPSCoR Coalition for an increase in the NSF EPSCoR budget. The FY06 appropriations bill was enacted with an increase from $94.5M to $100M.
