At Los Alamos from 1992 to 1995, he facilitated peaceful applications of lab technology as Associate Director of he Alliance for Photonic Technology, was project leader for the Laser Effects Program, and developed a general theory for predicting pulsed laser pressure on surfaces in vacuum. In 1995, he founded Photonic Associates to develop laser space propulsion. He invented the ORION and L’ADROIT concepts for laser space debris re-entry and collaborated with CNES to develop the Just-in-time Collision Avoidance principle. He has authored 145 scientific journal publications on laser applications and material interactions and 168 conference presentations. He chaired the ‘High Power Laser Ablation’ conferences in Santa Fe from 1998 to 2024. He is the author or contributor to three books on laser interaction and a popular science book titled No Wonder You Wonder (Springer, 2016).
