He previously managed the materials science, disc pad design, dynamometer/vehicle testing departments and for eight years was the Vice President of OEM and Technical Sales, actively growing business in that area.
Dr. Mohr has actively pursued the development of high performance/high temperature composites for more than 36 years. While completing his Ph.D. at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Mohr authored more than 20 publications. After developing improved processing technology for carbon fibers (funded by the U.S. Navy), he then joined the Georgia Tech Research Institute’s (GTRI) Energy and Materials Science Laboratory where he concentrated on processing and testing high temperature ceramic composites for U.S. DOE projects. His work has inspired significant development worldwide, according to PFC.
Additionally, Dr. Mohr has served on several SAE committees including several light and commercial vehicle committees that establish test procedures for braking products, and has also led sessions at the annual SAE brake colloquium.
