Overview
Personal Profile
Michael Woodhouse specializes in component manufacturing cost modeling, project cash flow modeling, and international trade, supply chain, and policy analysis relevant to U.S. and international projects. After transitioning from a hands-on laboratory role, Woodhouse’s primary strengths are to work with researchers on questions that link existing and proposed materials science and engineering designs to full system economic modeling; and to follow-up by collecting Industry data around current capabilities, sourcing input materials and manufacturing equipment, and relative manufacturing costs across global supply chains.
