Robert E. Peterkin

Employer

Dr. Robert E. Peterkin was the Chief Scientist, Directed Energy Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to his official biography the Directorate had a budget of over $300 million for Air Force research and development of high energy lasers, high power microwaves and dense plasmas, and advanced optical technologies. While it's unclear when he left the position (he was quoted in a press article in April 2016 which referred to him as chief scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate) he joined Pentagon contractor General Atomics as director of the company's Albuquerque office in January 2018.

General Atomic's Electromagnetic Systems President said, "with Robert's assistance, we look forward to establishing closer ties to the local research, laboratory, and private and government communities to help expand our portfolio"
