Bio
Chris Boehnen (he his)
Lars has worked for me, with me as a peer, and I would gladly work for him. Lars started his career at IARPA as a technical SETA on the Janus program where I was serving as the PM. Then he became a PM himself (eventually taking over Janus and all of my programs when I moved into a new role). He is thoughtful, intelligent, hardworking, and going to succeed in anything he works on. One of the most defining differences of Lars compared to many technical individuals are his program management skills. As he has his PMP, he was able to take on programmatic planning responsibilities when he was the technical SETA which were well beyond what a technical SETA is required to do. Further, he did it so well that I never had to think twice or double check his work. It was always flawless. I would gladly work with, for, or hire Lars again at any point in the future. If you get the opportunity to work with him or hire him don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

Sep 2003 - Aug 2005
Carbon Nanotube-Based Chemical & Biological Sensors - Designed and manufactured carbon nanotube (CNT) devices using dielectrophoretic deposition and chemical vapor synthesis combined with traditional lithographic fabrication techniques, such as electron beam and UV photolithography. Explored the electrical behavior of CNT/DNA hybrid devices in various chemical and biological environments. Investigated the effects of molecular adsorbates on CNT Raman spectroscopy. Advanced Materials for Infrared Obscuration - Investigated the viability of single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes as deployable infrared obscurant materials. Show less

Aug 1997 - Sep 2003
Graduate Student under Prof. Richard E. Smalley Ph.D. Thesis: Macroscopic Neat Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Fibers Designed, built, and utilized a custom polymer melt mixer/extruder to successfully produce the first single-walled carbon nanotube fibers without any surfactant or polymer support. The apparatus involved the coordination of temperature, melt pressure, vacuum, hydraulics, and optical components for the full characterization and control of all aspects of fiber production. Prepared and studied liquid samples of carbon nanotubes in strong acids via rheometry and optical microscopy. Analysis included sample phase behavior and general viscosity studies. Sample preparation also involved purification of carbon nanotube material and handling of hygroscopic, highly corrosive materials. M.S. Thesis: Strength Characterization of Suspended Single-walled Carbon Nanotube Ropes Investigated the strain-to-failure behavior of suspended carbon nanotubes via force mode atomic force microscopy. This analysis produced the first experimental lower bound value on the strain-to-failure and tensile strength of individual single wall carbon nanotubes. Show less
