Scientist Dr Thomas Mensah CVSU/AISS JV

Date of Birth: 1950-00-00
Place: Kumasi

Dr. Thomas Mensah, a world renowned inventor with 7 US and worldwide patents in Fiber Optics over a period of six years, was born in 1950 in Kumasi, Ghana.

He won the French Government Fellowship in 1974 to do graduate studies in Chemical Engineering at Montpelier University France, after receiving his undegraduate degree in the same field from UST Kumasi ( 1970-74). Prior to his undergraduate work, Dr. Mensah attended Wesley College practice school, Kumasi and Adisadel college Cape Coast. Dr. Mensah who is fluent in French won the National French competition in Ghana, both at the O Levels (1968) and A Levels 1970. held at Accra.

He holds Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from Montpelier University 1978, and a Certificate in Modeling of Chemical Processes from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (1977). He has held high level engineering positions in US industry first at Air Products and Chemicals (1980-83), then Corning Glass Works, in Fiber Optics research Sullivan Park, New York 1983-1986, where he built the the fastest Fiber Optics draw and coating process, 50 meters per second. He holds 4 patents for this effort. He joined AT&T Bell laboratories in 1986 and led the the program to develop fiber optic reels used in the guided missile program. This effort led to the development of a system that was successfully deployed at missile speeds up to Mach 1 (The Speed of sound). He received 3 US patents on this technology. Dr. Mensah also Founded the High Tech firm Supercond Technology in Norcross that specializes in Aerospace and Communication products. His firm focuses on advanced structural materials development for Supersonic US Fighter Aircraft like the F-22, the fastest Jet in the World.

On the International level Dr. Mensah is a founding member of the Emerging Technologies area for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). He is the first and only black person to serve as the National Chairman of the Materials and Engineering Sciences Division of the AIChE. He has edited two book volumes for AIChE, namely Fiber Optics Engineering, 1987 and Superconductor Engineering, 1992. Dr. Mensah was elected to serve as a Director and member of the Council of Board of Directors of this pre-eminent engineering organization from 1987 -1990. He also served on the visiting committee/Advisory board for Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,MIT from 1988 -1992.

As a world expert in the field of advanced materials, Dr. Mensah has worked on specialized projects for NASA (Superconductors for space communications), the US Army (Smart munitions Picatinny Arsenal) and US Department of Energy, (Fiber optics sensors for Highway Traffic monitoring). Dr. Mensah has additional patents pending in some of these areas.

Dr. Mensah has recently led a team in the design and comissioning of one of the worlds most advanced scalable high vacuum, Radio Frequency sputtering system used for fabricating computer chips and other electronic products. His current work include next generation MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) and Nano systems Technology. Dr Mensah has other ventures in the US aimed at improving technology transfer to developing nations and enhancing trade such as the African-Ecommerce.Com Corporation ,as well as web based training programs aimed at producing a competitive workforce for the 21 st century using the internet platform.

He is featured in the Marquis Who is Who in Science and Technology, as well as Who is Who in Optical Engineering. Since 1994, A travelling exhibit featuring 100 Black achievers in Science and Technology including Dr. Mensah is shown in major cities in the United States. He is also featured in the Black Inventors traveling exhibit around the world.

Dr. Mensah delivers technical presentations around the world, and has chaired several symposia for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Below are selected publications by Dr. Mensah. 1. T.O. Mensah et al, Radiation Effects on Optical Fibers; Proceedings of the European Conference on Optical Fibers , ECOC, Helsinki, 1987.
