Biography:

Dr. Cornely has had a distinguished career with senior positions in both Academia and Corporate. In Corporate he has led the research and development of geodynamic systems as President and CEO of 374’s Electric Power Corporation with the development of the first generation of surf hydroelectric systems. These pioneering geodynamic systems have opened the doors to the next generation of surf hydro systems, now an important source of renewable energy in the world. Dr. Cornely has also been an integral contributor to the geodynamic systems of the Department of Defense of the United States as a Senior Research System Engineer, Senior Lecturer and Chair of the Radio and Communication Propagation and Atmospheric Physics Technical Group at Raytheon in Waltham, Massachusetts. At Raytheon, Dr. Cornely designed, developed, simulated, and tested Hardware and Software for the United States missile defense early warning system.

Dr. Cornely has a long tradition of contribution to Academia including serving as Department Chair of Physics and Engineering before advancing to Chair of Science and Technology, overseeing the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science and Forensic Science at Eastern Nazarene College (ENC) in Quincy, Massachusetts. His scholarly activities include earthquake forecasting as well as innovations in enrollment management and recruitment, curriculum development, and novel models of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Dr. Cornely has also led a vision of context-driven education based on project-driven applied learning, internships, and student portfolios. This approach has been at the core of a unique brand of academic preparation with potential for more effective engagement with the local community, municipal and state government, as well as the commercial sector.
