<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Lionel has received extensive training in entrepreneurial innovation leading to commercialization taking part various industrial projects in conjunction to his thesis research. 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. </span></span>
