Following graduation, he worked for the American Dental Association and conducted an abundance of research and dental metal-lurgy at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, DC.

Developed the bio-compatible alloy with extraordinary resistance to fracture and wear, which has the unusual ability to toughen itself against propagation of cracks that would normally cause cracks and wear to the replacement.
