DESCRIPTION:From Research to Mission: A Systems Approach to Accelerating Mi
 croelectronics Transition\n\nMicroelectronics and advanced manufacturing h
 ave become defining constraints on U.S. economic competitiveness and natio
 nal security. In microelectronics\, the decisive advantage is not discover
 ing what is possible\, it is delivering what is usable. This talk presents
  a systems approach to compressing the path from research to mission by al
 igning stakeholders\, infrastructure\, and execution to move innovations f
 rom lab to fab to field.\n\nUsing NORDTECH\, a DoD-funded regional innovat
 ion hub based at Cornell\, as a case study\, I will walk through the end-t
 o-end transition pipeline: problem framing with government stakeholders\, 
 capability mapping across university and fab infrastructure\, multi-party 
 teaming\, program design\, and the governance needed to execute across ins
 titutions and incentives. I will highlight practical patterns for reducing
  transition risk\, accelerating prototyping\, and aligning workforce\, IP\
 , and investment strategies to sustain a regional ecosystem.\n\nThe talk w
 ill close with lessons learned from my career spanning military aviation\,
  intelligence\, cyber\, and national security R&D\, and a set of actionabl
 e principles students and practitioners can use to move complex technology
  programs from concept to fielded outcomes.\n \n\nBio: Michael R. Greene i
 s the partnerships director for NORDTECH (Northeast Regional Defense Techn
 ology Hub) at Cornell University\, where he leads strategy and cross-secto
 r partnerships for a $50M+ DoD-funded hub focused on accelerating microele
 ctronics R&D and lab-to-fab transition. He previously managed national sec
 urity R&D and capture at BAE Systems/Ball Aerospace\, led threat and syste
 ms analysis programs at Johns Hopkins APL\, and held senior intelligence a
 nd cyber warfare leadership roles supporting DoD acquisition and operation
 s. A former U.S. Marine Corps naval aviator\, he holds an MBA and M.S. in 
 systems engineering from George Washington University and a B.S. in physic
 s and astronomy from the University of Rochester.
