Meet the President
On January 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of Constellation Technology
Corporation appointed William E. Swartz, Ph.D. as President and Chief
Executive Officer of Constellation Technology. Dr. Swartz had been Vice
President and Director of Analytical Services with the corporation.
Bill received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971. His technical specialty was
surface analysis using techniques such as x-ray photoelectron and Auger
spectroscopy. He held Post Doctoral positions in the Department of
Chemistry at the University of Georgia and the Center for Materials Science
at the University of Maryland before becoming Assistant Professor of
Chemistry at the University of South Florida. At USF, Bill rose through the
academic ranks and became Professor and Chairman of the Department of
Chemistry. In 1986, Bill left the
academic world and became Manager of Advanced Instrumentation and
Development at General Electric Neutron Devices Department (GENDD). GENDD
was a contractor for the US Department of Energy charged with the
production of electro-mechanical components for nuclear weapons. With time,
he managed polymer, chemical, metallurgical, ceramics, and nondestructive
evaluation laboratories for GENDD. Each of these laboratories performed
Process Development materials research relevant to the GENDD mission. When
GENDD became Lockheed Martin Specialty Components, Bill also managed the
Manufacturing Engineering group charged with making designs generated by
the DOE National Laboratory network manufacturable. In 1997, Bill joined
Constellation Technology as Manager of Analytical Services. Bill’s
leadership enabled the Analytical Services Laboratory at Constellation to
achieve accreditation by the American Association for Laboratory
Accreditation (A2LA) for chemical, mechanical and nondestructive testing.
The full, three-discipline scope of accredited analysis is perhaps the
broadest of any A2LA accredited laboratory.
Bill brings many years of technical managerial leadership and an
extensive knowledge of materials technology, process development and
analysis to the position of President and CEO at Constellation Technology.
