AAG is a 501c[3] non-profit currently recognized with federal tax-exemption status. Representing a more conventional approach to scientific endeavor, Paul Murad brings decades of private sector and government consulting to bear in the area of breakthrough science. His scientific expertise is well-grounded in mainstream theory, but he balances that with an open-minded approach to examining new or contradictory results that may ultimately lead to new breakthroughs in science and technology.
Murad's scientific leadership and government experience have led him to become the chairman and organizer for the annual “Space Technology & Applications International Forcum” (STAIF) conference, and he brings a wealth of experience to the issue of community-based technology advocacy.
As the chairman of the review panel for submissions to the STAIF conference, his experience includes a broad, comprehensive knowledge of a variety of leading-edge Breakthrough Propulsion and Gravity-Modification technologies and theories. The result of his expertise in collecting and presenting Breakthrough Propulsion research has been the acceptance of STAIF presentations for publication in the prestigious American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Journal.
His expertise has included not only determining which of these new ideas are the best fit for presentation at the conference, but is also in determining how well revolutionary scientific hypothesis may be later integrated into the larger scope of human scientific knowledge.
His previous endeavors have included leadership as the organizer for the High-Frequency Gravitational Wave (HFGW) conference in 2003, sponsored by the Mitre Corporation.
Murad’s formal education includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, and later progressed to a Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering & Astronautics from the New York University School of Engineering.
His educational background, spanning a forty-year career in both private and public service, also includes study at the University of Houston, Rice University, the University of California at Davis, Sacramento State College, the University of Florida, and Florida Technology University. These additional studies effectively give him the equivalent of a second master's degree in applied mathematics with a focus on lasers, fluid dynamics, and electrical engineering.
