AERO CTO Theodore C. Loder III, Ph.D.
Dr. Loder retired in May 2005 from a long and productive career as a Professor at the University of New Hampshire, Department of Earth Sciences and member of the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space. He has conducted environmental research in numerous countries, and published extensively.
In April 1997, Dr. Loder attended a 3-hour closed congressional briefing on advanced energy and propulsion systems held in Washington DC, as representative of the Governor of New Hampshire. During these briefings he met a number of top-secret military witnesses who described events they observed first hand to members of Congress and the Senate. Subsequently, Dr. Loder has briefed NASA and NSF scientists as well as U.S. Congressional and Senatorial staff members on this topic.
In October, 2000, at the request of Senator Bob Smith (R-NH), Dr. Loder organized and coordinated with six other energy experts, a briefing for the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on the subject of "Outside-the-Box" technologies, their critical role concerning environmental trends, and the unnecessary energy crisis.

Recently, Dr. Loder presented an invited paper at AIAA assessing the development of electrogravitic research over the past 50 years and implications of this technology.
