Jacqueline Du Bois

Program Manager of Minority Programs

Maryland Technology Development Corporation

Miss Du Bois holds a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineer and is a candidate for an advanced degree in Economics.  Prior to joining TEDCO, Miss. Du Bois worked as a combustion scientist providing computational aerothermal design support and conducting fire-dynamics simulations at a small Maryland R&D consulting firm.  She also managed the firm’s SBIR project for the National Institutes of Health on Deafness and other Communication Disorders.  Ms. Du Bois and her team leveraged the project’s groundbreaking conclusions in such a way as to mandate changes in the National Fire Codes and update the policies governing fire safety standards for multiple occupancy residences inhabited by deaf and hard of hearing people in Maryland.  Miss Du Bois also provided technical support to the firm’s other SBIR projects.  As manager of Minority Programs, her experiences have prepared her well to guide others through the SBIR solicitation process.

Miss Du Bois received her B.S in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton University, and her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on thermal sciences from the University of California at Berkeley.
