Mr. Greene received his S.B. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979. He founded Eric Greene Associates, Inc. in 1988 to advance our understanding of composite materials for marine structures. Engineering advanced materials for marine structures, understanding the performance of composites in fires, and composites education are the primary areas of corporate expertise. Eric Greene Associates, Inc. clients range from the recreational megayacht industry to the military, allowing for technology transfer between diverse industries. Mr. Greene authored the highly acclaimed book MARINE COMPOSITES, which is available for download below.
Eric Greene Associates remains focused on large composite structures for naval, commercial and recreational applications. Research and Development effort will concentrate on non-destructive evaluation (NDE), repair and wave impact. We also direct our composite manufacturing knowlege towards the emerging fields of Ocean Renewable Energy and Shellfish Aquaculture. Composite structures will allow us to transfer from prototype demonstrators to solutions that can be fielded in quantities with life cycle costs that ensure economic viability.

Application of Lightweighting Technology to Military Aircraft, Vessels and Vehicles
|
| Project Scope |
A committee of the National Academies was convened to assess the current state of lightweighting implementation for transportation systems. The committee assessed the current state of lightweighting implementation in land, sea and air vehicles systems in the military and civil sectors, with a primary emphasis on military systems and equipment. Recommendations were made for ways in which the use of lightweight materials and lightweight solutions might be better implemented in military and dual-use systems.
The Project was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense

| Photo of Eric Greene taken during a Fall, 2008 sail from New York to Bermuda on an all-composite, 62-foot high performance catamaran. Mr. Greene is an avid sailor and welcomes the opportunity for offshore sailing to increase his understanding of how the ocean environment affects marine composite structures.

Sailboat Racing Experience
Eric started racing with his dad Stewart in 1970 on Long Island Sound. Sailing a PJ 43 named “Dove,” they won numerous distance races, including the Overall Performance trophy in the blustery 1972 Bermuda Race. Twenty years later they won the ocean portion of the Annapolis-Bermuda Race in a Ladd 54 cruising ketch. Eric skippered the MIT sailing team to runner up positions in two McMillan Cups and one Kennedy Cup regatta at the USNA. He also was part of the U.S Admiral’s Cup team that competed in the 1979 Fastnet Race. The Greenes are now a three-generation show welcoming Eric’s son Cole on their J-105 in the Annapolis area.
