Julie started out with the Battery Technology Group as a materials research engineer focused on testing batteries to determine their performance and safety characteristics. Over the years, as her knowledge and experience grew, the job evolved into her current role as trusted technical agent for the Naval Ordnance Safety and Security Activity, conducting safety evaluations and providing recommendations for use for lithium batteries used in systems deployed from all US Navy and Marine Corps platforms and shore-based facilities. She received her B.S. from the University of Maryland at College Park in Materials Engineering in 1990.
