Rosemary Greene
Dr. Rosemary Greene is a Cognitive Scientist who completed her doctoral program at the University of Southern California in Educational Psychology and Cognitive Technology and
has degrees in Business Administration and Instruction Technology. Formerly a computer programmer developing technical codes with GE Nuclear Power Division, she has been a Director of Customer and Sales
Education for the North Americas for companies such as Oracle and Business Objects. She joined a Silicon Valley start-up and created, then grew, their Education Services division to profitability in nine months.
Immediately before founding GRDI, she was responsible for developing technical training curricula at ROLM/IBM. This included project management of teams of engineers, course developers, and technical writers.
She introduced new technologies such as computer based training, multi-media courses, and quantitative methods for evaluating the effectiveness of training approaches. Her doctoral dissertation was a successful
application of neural networks and multivariate analysis. She is also a published author who has received several awards for her contributions to industry and education.
David Greene
David Greene is an internationally recognized scientist and manager and has led several US government teams in negotiating technical treaties with several countries, including the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan,
and several other European countries. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, Fellow of the Institute of Measurement and Control, and a Chartered Physicist (Europe). His last corporate position was with
the General Electric Advanced Reactor Division, where he led development of all instrumentation and control systems for the SP-100 Space Reactor Project. This role included developing and managing supporting development
programs at five National Laboratories. The project developed sensors, associated electronics, and analysis systems suitable for extremely hostile space environments.
David's other pertinent experience
includes R&D into ablative materials for re-entry vehicles, heat transfer and fluid flow fields, measurement of turbulence and eddy diffusivities of mass, heat, and momentum in gases and liquids, pressure loss
in multi-component and multiphase flows. This R&D was directed towards developing fundamental thermo-hydraulic similarity criteria that allows data from gas flows in complex geometries to be used to predict temperature
distribution in liquid metal flows in similar geometries. He has received several awards for his contributions to industry and science. David's individual contributions in his field are recorded in over 200 papers and
reports, including many on acoustic monitoring and instigating physical and chemical reactions due to sodium water.

Hannah Spinner
With the support of GRDI's NASA SBIR award, six interns were hired in Summer 2012 through TeenForce, a local nonprofit organization that finds part-time jobs for teens. The purpose of GRDI's internship program is to provide
additional skills and expertise during the SBIR Phase I period and to provide the interns with real world practical experience in innovative research programs. GRDI planned to hire only two summer interns, but the quality
of the candidates was so high that six were hired. The program has proven very successful, for both GRDI and the interns. GRDI intends to continue the internship program, and believes that the summer interns have the
potential to become full-time employees.

GRDI was the winner of the Innovation and Invention Award from UK GRANADA Network Television's "Flying Start" program. GRDI was selected from a field of over 300 small and medium companies as the winner of the network television program's Innovation and Invention Award. An independent panel of business professionals made a 9 month in-depth assessment of GRDI's products and business expertise. In making the selection, the team of judges rated GRDI as "head and shoulders above the competition" due to the depth and breadth of GRDI's technologies and their applications across many industries .
