Oliver Strbik

Oliver M. Strbik I have developed several unique processes and specialized equipment for a wide range of industries including: chemical, rubber, jewelry, agriculture, plasma display, buoyancy and food. Past at current projects include: - The development and fabrication of engineered hollow shells and the incorporation of them into syntactic composites. Hollow shells have been tailored to meet the mechanical and chemical requirements for applications such as deep sea buoyancy, vehicle armor, and rocket motor insulation. He has directed the development of the hollow shell manufacturing process to accommodate high temperature ceramics, low melting glasses, reactive phosphors, metal oxides, and metal carbides. -The development of high temperature, high strength, oxidation resistant Mo-Si-B alloys for use in hot gas stream jet turbine components. Review of technical reports, coordination of research activities with academic researchers (Brown University, Georgia Tech Research Institute, New York University, University of Dayton Research Institute, University of Wisconsin) - The design and fabrication of novel armor tiles for flexible armor. Collaboration with Naval Research Lab (NRL). Naval Surface Warfare Center, Naval Postgraduate School. Presented at SOCOM, TALOS technology presentation. - Automotive component end of line (EOL) test cells for fascias. Including vision and component functionality testing.
