Hello, Roy Roberts here. My journey has been defined by a passion for learning, a drive to challenge established paradigms, and a commitment to making a positive impact across diverse fields.
Academically, I hold associate degrees in Ship Engineering and Aircraft Structures, a BA in Psychology and Business Management, and a PhD in Psychology and Communication. My education has always been fueled by curiosity and a desire to question the status quo, seeking innovative solutions to complex problems.
After retiring from the U.S. Navy, I transitioned into mental health practice and government grant writing, where I continued to challenge conventional approaches and advocate for creative, effective solutions. As a published author, photographer, poet, and technical writer, I enjoy exploring new perspectives and sharing them with others. I’m also a patent holder, licensed multi-engine pilot, and certified aircraft mechanic, constantly pushing boundaries in both technical and creative arenas.
I’ve had the privilege of leading and contributing as a subject matter expert to projects with renowned institutions such as Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy, Purdue Robotic Vision Lab, and several major universities and government agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, and the U.S. Navy. My work designing and engineering energy-efficient, earth-friendly homes and buildings reflects my commitment to innovation and sustainability.
As a lifelong learner and world traveler, I thrive on exploring new ideas, cultures, and disciplines—always questioning, always learning, and always challenging paradigms. Whether in the cockpit, the lab, or the writer’s studio, I strive to combine curiosity, critical thinking, and practical expertise to break new ground and inspire others.
Most recently, I have been working with AI to unlock the questions and answers I've puzzled over for much of my life. I find this exciting. I find this new way of challenging paradigms about Cosmology, Physics, and the Universe in general very rewarding and frustrating.
