More Information
My name is Dr. Monikka Mann (ABD), and I am the owner of Gryphon.
With a PMP in hand, I have over 20 years of experience working as a Project Engineer & Project Manager leading R&D and Innovation projects in the Data Science, Software Development, Aerospace, Specialty Chemicals, Medical Device, Energy and Semiconductor sectors.
As an owner of an Engineering Services company, I have led ISO certification efforts for Information Security (ISO 27001), medical devices (Medical Device Directive - MDD, ISO 13485, ISO/IEC 60601), aerospace equipment (AS 9100), and device manufacturing (ISO 9000). Certification work also included documentation for UL, TUV, CE Marking, and FDA Premarket Notification 510(k).
Relevant experience includes requirement analysis, product design, development of test specifications and ISO-compliant manufacturing procedures. I developed an Award-Winning qualification test procedure for Fully Buffered DIMMs that became the basis of the JEDEC standard for this technology.
Skills Include: Numerical Modeling, LabVIEW, CATIA V5, Pro/Engineer (Pro/E), SolidWorks, Mathematica, Matlab, Smartsheet, MS Project, SPSS, DOORS, FEA, ANSYS, FloTherm, Unigraphics (UG) NX5, TeamCenter, MS Office, SalesForce CRM software.
Dr. Donald G. Prier, II is a resident of the Acres Home community and is a professional educator. He currently is a dual credit instructor for Lone Star College and George Washington Carver High School.
Dr. Prier currently possesses a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics (Physics) from Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a Master of Arts degree in STEM Curriculum Design and Educational Leadership from Pacific University, Oregon, and a Doctorate in Philosophy from Texas Tech in Global STEM Curriculum design. Dr. Prier is also a Robert Noyce, NSF Fellow. Although this is his 14th year in public education, Dr. Prier has been in and out of the classroom since the late 1990s as he is also an experienced Test Engineer and Aerospace Engineer. His skill set allowed him to have opportunities to work for the Department of Energy, design products for Space and Space travel, as well as semiconductors and electronics both here in the United States and Europe. Along with these experiences, Dr. Prier was fortunate enough to start his own engineering company that focused on automotive design and biomedical instrumentation.
Because of Dr. Prier's heavy involvement in the STEM classroom, he decided to return to the classroom where he was fortunate enough to coach a robotics team that won the US FIRST robotics world championship in the year 2000. Since then, he has been fortunate enough to coach only two other teams that qualified to compete in the championship - the most recent being The 44 Engineering Robotics Team based at G.W. Carver High School. In the short time Dr. Prier has been at Carver, he has taken robotics students to Texas state championships consistently as well as commanded professional opportunities for his robotics students in the Aerospace and Prototyping Industries - while they were still in high school. As a matter of fact, the work that his students performed for one aerospace company was so good that the aerospace company not only publicly forged a partnership with the school, but they also renamed the agricultural section of the International Space Station after the school – now the George Washington Carver Space Park.
Dr. Prier is continuously looking to serve any STEM organizations around the world, the Houston Acres Home community as an Educator - and always strives to be a champion for all STEM students!
Skills Include: Numerical Modeling, CATIA V5, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Structural Analysis, Smartsheet, MS Project, SPSS, FEA, ANSYS, MS Office, C++, Python, Java Programming, Hydraulics and Pneumatic instrumentation.
Lillian Prier is a Lone Star College student majoring in Robotics Automation and Mechatronics. Before then, and as a senior in high school, assisted in brokering a 6 month engineering design project with space commercial services company, Nanoracks - designing a OMD-1 space robot test fixture using ACAD Inventor.
Lillian is also a FIRST Robotics Alumni - she was the team captain and head of design for all the rookie FTC teams (12725 and 18692) that constantly won design awards in Houston and qualifying to state and FIRST world robotics championships.
