He served in the Air Force during WW II at Langley Field, Virginia with the NACA, predecessor of NASA, doing research on centrifugal compressors for jet engines. After completing a M.S. at Harvard University in 1947, he taught mechanical engineering at the Pennsylvania State University until 1959, when he became Hallden Professor of Engineering at Trinity College. From 1970 - 1979 he was Dean of the Faculty, overseeing the process of transforming the College into a coeducational institution, putting in place a new, open curriculum, and developing an overseas campus in Rome. After serving as Dean, he returned to the Engineering Department and taught thermodynamics and interdisciplinary courses in technology and society until retiring in 1983.
