Fornax Advanced Materials continues its rapid growth. Angela Daly joined Fornax Advanced Materials, Inc. (Fornax-AM) earlier this week, as the company continues to grow rapidly. Angela has a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Strayer University and has spent the previous 35 years supporting business operations with another small business. Ms. Daly will manage business operations and numerous back-office functions in her new role. Her arrival coincides with Fornax-AM’s move to its new Columbia, Maryland headquarters. Fornax-AM enables missions of high consequence by delivering lightweight, high-density products composed of advanced alloys, metallics, and ceramic composite materials at speed, scale, and cost. The company focuses on supporting DoE, DoD, NASA, and the broader aerospace and defense community. (www.Fornax-AM.com) #WelcomeToTheTeam

Welcome to the team John!
Fornax Advanced Materials taps John Nichols as Chief Scientist Fornax Advanced Materials, Inc. (Fornax-AM) is pleased announce that John Nichols has joined the company as Vice President and Chief Scientist. Mr. Nichols joins Fornax-AM after 25 years in the aerospace industry supporting all phases of major satellite builds for NASA and the Department of Defense. He has worked at two NASA centers, and most recently served as a subject matter expert and principal staff member of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Over the course of his career, Mr. Nichols supported several NASA Flagship missions as a lead engineer, including the James Webb Space Telescope, Van Allen Probes, Parker Solar Probe, and Europa Clipper. He also served as a lead engineer on several other large missions and payloads focused on exploring the solar system or classified targets via highly sensitive remote sensing instrumentation such as UV/VIS imagers, energetic particle detectors, and spectrometers. Mr. Nichols has developed multiple laboratories and capabilities over the course of his career. He also led invention of the effusion cell, a device for precisely measuring the outgassing of box-level spaceflight hardware, as well as a process to bake out space-grade harness wire at the component level and a method for passively (thermally) monitoring film deposition during thermal vacuum bakeout using ellipsometry. Mr. Nichols holds a Master of Science degree in physics from The Catholic University of America, a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Duquesne University, and a Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Duquesne University. In welcoming Mr. Nichols on board, Fornax-AM President and CEO, John Havermann, commented, “John is a first principles thinker with expertise in the qualification of materials for the space environment, vacuum test, vacuum chamber design, cleanroom design, precision cleaning of small particulate and molecular films and behavior of thin films. His brilliance, scientific rigor, and leadership skills will greatly contribute to the success of our company going forward.” Fornax-AM enables missions of high consequence by delivering lightweight, high-density products composed of advanced alloys, metallics, and ceramic composite materials at speed, scale, and cost. It contributes to American dynamism in research and development, using hard science to develop solutions for extreme environments and alternatives to minerals controlled by rivals. It also combats decades of offshoring critical national manufacturing capability, responsibly producing products in the homeland with physical and material characteristics previously thought impossible to achieve. Fornax-AM focuses on supporting DoE, DoD and NASA missions, as well as the broader aerospace and defense community. #Welcome John Nichols to the Fornax-AM team
