AFWERX welcomes new director during change of leadership ceremony
U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jason Bartolomei, Air Force Research Laboratory commander and the Department of the Air Force’s technology executive officer, passes the guidon to Col. Nathan Stuckey during the AFWERX change of leadership ceremony at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, June 17, 2025. AFWERX, a directorate within AFRL, serves as the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force. It partners with Airmen, Guardians, industry, academia and government organizations to accelerate capability development and deliver innovative solutions. The organization manages the Department’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which help transition commercial technologies into operational use. Each year, AFWERX awards approximately 1,400 SBIR/STTR contracts worth more than $1.4 billion through America’s Seed Fund, a federal initiative that supports startups and small businesses developing technologies with commercial and defense applications.

Dr. Luke A. Baldwin named a 2025 Early Investigator by the American Chemical Society
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFRL) – Dr. Luke A. Baldwin, a research chemist at the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, has been named a 2025 Early Investigator by the American Chemical Society, or ACS, Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering, or PMSE. He is the first recipient from the Department of Defense to receive the honor. Baldwin will present his work at the ACS-PMSE Early Investigator Symposium during the ACS National Meeting in Washington, D.C., Aug. 18–24. Baldwin, who holds a doctorate from The Ohio State University, joined AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 2017. His research has advanced dynamic covalent chemistry, particularly in developing processable two-dimensional polymers and high-performance covalent adaptable networks. His AI-driven approaches to material synthesis are expected to significantly impact future air and space operations. (U.S. Air Force photo / David Perkins)
