Tony has published numerous articles, many dealing with the market, technology and environmental aspects of radiation processing.  He holds fifteen US patents, many related to materials used in irradiation technology, with two pending.  He received his Bachelors degree in Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame (1959) and his Masters of Business Administration with a Certificate in International Business from Seton Hall University (1970).  He is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS -- Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering Division), of ASTM International (ASTM -- Committees D-1 on Coatings, D-14 on Adhesives, and E-10.01 on Dosimetry), of the Society of Plastic Engineers (SPE – Medical Plastics Division), of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Association and a founding member and Past-President of RadTech International North America (1991-1992), the industrial association for the advancement of radiation technology.  He has also been a member of the organizing committees for many of the International Meetings on Radiation Processing (IMRP), having given presentations at several IMRP meetings including invited presentations in Beijing (1992), in Istanbul (1994), in Avignon (2001), and in Chicago (2003).  Tony served on an organizing committee working with the US Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to form the US Council on Ionizing Radiation Measurement and Standards (CIRMS), a forum composed of individuals representing industry, academia and various US federal agencies and departments dealing with irradiation technology.  He is a Past-President of CIRMS (1996) and now chairs the CIRMS Science and Technology Committee and is the editor of a “Needs Report” on ionizing radiation.  He has also served on National Research Council panels that reviewed the NIST Physics Laboratory and Measurement Services (1997-2002) and on a National Academy of Science panel that appraised alternatives to assuring the safety of the US mail from bio-terrorism threats such as anthrax (2001).  He is a consultant to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Industrial Applications and Chemistry Section dealing with the effects of irradiation on materials, having given presentations in Vienna (2003), at Notre Dame (2003), in Cairo (2005) and in Sao Paulo (2005 – on composites).  He is working on a booklet for the IAEA on industrial electron beam processing.  Tony has participated in four energy efficiency projects co-funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), being the principal investigator of two, including a recently (2007) completed feasibility study on the use of X-radiation to cure carbon fiber matrix materials, the results of which were presented at a SAMPE meeting in 2007.
