Mr. Jeff Abboud

Mr. Jeff Abboud, Executive Director of the Gas Turbine Association, shared his view of the impact of the administration's funding cuts on ceramics materials.Expressing his dissatisfaction with the current appropriations situation, he explained that his industry, like advanced ceramics, will maintain central importance over the next several decades.He does not, however, foresee adequate federal research and development funding over this same period due to declines in the availability of discretionary funding.This year's appropriations cutbacks may be seen as a precursor, according to Abboud, of a way in which future budgetary pressures will be alleviated.
