Dr. John Dyer
Lead Engineer: Analysis and Integration
(SEF Energy)
We’ve recently said goodbye to Dr. John Dyer from #ouinarezzo.
OUA Director Kirk Duclaux said:
“John Dyer has been with the OUA program from the beginning. I don't mean necessarily from the chronological beginning, but rather from the more important beginning - the philosophical development of OUA, as this is what makes the program unique. John has been a driving force in maintaining academic integrity, while at the same time encouraging cultural awareness. He asks his students to learn and to appreciate the essential importance of creativity both in science and culture. John has found a home at OUA and we are forever grateful that he has become an integral part the OUA family. He will be missed, but not forgotten.”
