Currently he is in the forefront in the development of biobased composites. As part of Mr. Cross’ dissertation he developed and characterized PLA/CNC composites and is a co-inventor of biocompatible, bio-based, biodegradable technology currently being pursued for patenting. Mr. Cross has developed a strong background in composite processing and characterization of thermoplastics and thermosetting polymer systems. As a University Innovation Fellow Lionel will continue to develop entrepreneurial strategies that will complement his strides in innovation throughout his professional career. Having been encouraged to continue to build a depth and breadth of knowledge Lionel continues to explore the field of Nano science, polymers, and processing for its many possibilities and economic growth potential. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span>
