Curriculum Vitae

GENERAL:

Dr. Mays brings valuable expertise as an Analytical/Electrochemist and progressive experience in independently conducting research and developing laboratory methodologies. As an Analytical Chemist, conducting testing and interpreting results from a wide variety of qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses were paramount in his daily activities and duties. Dr. Mays’ experience includes instrumentation normally encountered in an analytical laboratory, ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma); AA (Atomic Absorption); GC/HPLC, continuous flow analyzer, UV/VIS and/or combustion analyzer. Dr. Mays developed a methodology for detecting trace inorganic metals in the field in suspected contaminated water supplies. He has a passion for analyzing water samples for purity. He has been a mentor and teacher and brings a wealth of management experience from the private sector and from the federal government as a Senior Scientist/MASINT Analyst and US Navy Submarine Officer. He and his team used the Operational Multi-Scale Environment Model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA) to support numerous government customers, classified and unclassified. This support was in the form of atmospheric prediction products of individual plumes of possible NBC contaminants.

KEY WORDS:

Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA), Environmental-EPA, Management, Electrochemistry, Research and Development, Fabrication, Spectroscopy, Lead Investigator, FDA, Wet Methods of Chemical Analysis, Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), UV and IR Spectroscopy, HPLC and GC-MS Methods of Chemical Analysis, Meteorological Model Data, Numerical Weather Prediction.

EXPERTISE:

Management/Task Oriented – Dr. Mays completed Ph. D. in Chemistry while working as an Intelligence Analyst during the beginning of the War on Terrorism. He developed methodologies for fabricating, testing and employing flow cell electrodes.

Laboratory Experience – His work included Electrochemistry, wet chemistry, Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS), UV/VIS Spectroscopy.

Quality Systems Research Scientist/Independent Research – Dr. Mays developed a robust system for the detection of inorganic arsenic that is field deployable.

Additional Skills as a Research Scientist include numerical modeling, and data analysis. Significant experience as a research meteorologist/intelligence analyst using GIS and satellite interpretation software to provide accurate intelligence data for government and civilian efforts. Significant experience in numerical modeling data evaluation to include AFWA models, Navy models-NOGAPS/COAMPS, Commercial model- OMEGA and the follow-on models to these models.

Manage, mentor, and training – Dr. Mays served as the Team lead during many phases of his support to the US Government and worked very closely with and trained numerous new analysts. Dr. Mays was available 24/7 for his clients and spent many off-time hours supporting deployed US personnel to Europe and South America. He was directly responsible for the quality assurance/quality control of multiple products daily.

Task oriented action officer-- Dr. Mays was identified on multiple occasions as the “go-to” analyst to get product support downstream to deployed US Forces. He was the analyst senior government intelligence officers came to for dedicated on-time, no matter what time of day or night product support was needed.

EXPERIENCE:

Modeling Analyst -- Operational Intelligence LLC - Falls Church, VA - 2014 to 2015

Dr. Mays was responsible for modeling simulation and analysis for the Defense Intelligence Agency serving multiple Combatant Commands. He performed the modeling simulation for optimization of aircraft routes to ensure successful mission accomplishment and data collection. He briefed colleagues and government leaders on the results of his analysis.

Senior Scientist/MASINT Analyst -- SAIC/Leidos - McLean, VA - 1996 to 2013

Dr. Mays served as a Senior Scientist on many projects throughout his SAIC/Leidos career. His experience ranges across multiple disciplines to include analytical chemistry, numerical modeling, and intelligence analysis at multiple levels, leadership and mentoring, direct and indirect support of US deployed forces throughout the Gulf War and into the War on Terrorism. He and the team he led produced multiple intelligence products at all security levels for all major Combatant Commands on all continents.

Served as team lead and member of the Target Development Cell at the Defense Intelligence Agency providing Imagery and MASINT analysis.

Provided real-time analyses of specialized datasets with evaluated data that supported Pacific Command, Central Command, African Command, Special Operations Command, Strategic Command, Southern Command, and internal Defense Intelligence Agency groups designed to enable future assignments to analysts for further review

Liaised with government lead daily to determine time lines, data and analyst accuracy, and proper

classification.

Produced intelligence guidelines and reports, and reviewed results for accuracy.

Key member for the development and maintenance of a Meteorological Data Server (MDS) which provided meteorological data in an output format palatable to multiple atmospheric dispersion models.

Received Letter of Appreciation from the commanding Admiral at Strategic Command for a job well done in maintaining the MDS ready 24/7

US Navy/Naval Officer – Qualified Submarine Officer - SSBNs/Meteorologist/Physical Oceanographer – November 1980 to December 1996

Division Officer responsible for the supervision and training of the Torpedo, Torpedo Fire Control, Sonar, Missile Technician, Fire Control Ballistic Missile personnel. Additional responsibilities included the maintenance of all Division equipment’s ensuring they were ready 24/7 for mission accomplishment.

Department Head responsible of all the above delineated Divisions including the Data Systems Division onboard a Trident Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine, the USS Alaska, SSBN 732 GOLD.

Program Manager - Responsible for the overall management through final production of the 1:50K Topographic Line Map (during the First Gulf War) and all scales of Harbor and Approach charts, Coastal charts and Chief of Naval Operations special charts produced digitally, employing 40 personnel and a $1.3 million budget.

Requirements Officer/Product Specialist - Responsible for ensuring that all hydrographic products in the Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea fulfill the needs of deployed U.S. and Allied Forces. Coordination of a myriad product reviews to include all major hydrographic publications, obstruction

data files and pilot charts.
