JOHN W HINES
BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
JHTA Managing Director / Chief Technical Officer; HFF Founder/CEO/CTO
John Hines is Managing Director and Chief Technical Officer at JH Technology Associates LLC (JHTA), a California-based Technology Consulting and Advisory Services company. Particular JHTA expertise areas include Space and Small Spacecraft Technologies, Medical/Biological Technologies, Technology Aggregation, and Technology Program/Project/Product Management. John retired as NASA-Ames Research Center Chief Technologist (CCT) in December 2012. During nearly 37 years of service, and prior to the CCT position, John served as Manager of the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory, Project Engineer/Manager for the US/Russian Cosmos Biosatellite Program, Chief Technologist for the Fundamental Space Biology Program, Chief Technologist in the ARC Engineering Directorate, Deputy Chief and Chief Technologist for the Small Spacecraft Division, and Nanosatellite Missions Office Manager. As originator of the Ames Nanosatellite Missions Office, John initiated, directed or facilitated ten nanosatellite/ISS/Free Flyer missions and projects, including the PreSat, GeneBox, GeneSat, Microsat-Free Flyer projects (2006-2008), Nanosail-D1/D2 (2008/2010), Pharmasat (2009), O/OREOS (2010), MPACE, and TechEdSat (2012), with a nearly 100% success rate for delivery of Space products.
From 2002-2009 John was the Principal Investigator for Biosensors, in-situ Bio-analytical Systems, and Wearable Physiological Measurement Systems. John created the Sensors 2000! and AstroBionics Integrated Program and Project Teams (IPPT). Under John’s direction, these teams developed/applied advanced technologies for Medical/Biological, Biotechnology, small satellites, wearable, implantable, and ingestible biomedical/biotelemetry sensors, and bio-analytical measurement systems. From 2002-2004, John was Program Manager for the NASA-NIH-NCI Biomolecular Physics and Chemistry Program, focused on revolutionary measurement approaches to detect and diagnose the onset of molecular anomalies related to disease and spaceflight induced physiological degeneration.
John has chaired peer and program reviews and panels for the NASA STMD Small Spacecraft Technology Program, and the NASA HEOMD AES Program. For the National Academy of Sciences, John served on the Committee on Space-Based Additive Manufacturing of Space Hardware (COSBAM-2014), and the NAS Space Technology Industry-Government-University Roundtable (STIGUR), which, together with STMD, explored critical space technology research issues related to NASA’s technology portfolio.
John is Chairman Executive Director of the Hines Family Foundation for Education, Innovation, and Service, a non-profit Atlanta, Georgia based STEM, Innovation and Technology Workforce enabler, which
aims to provide resources, opportunities and support for deserving, underrepresented, under-resourced individuals and groups. In this capacity, John facilitates outreach programs and collaborations, and develops learning tools and packages to enables students and teachers to become viable contributors to and beneficiaries of the 21st century global workforce. John has a BS in Electrical Engineering from Tuskegee University, a MS in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and nearly 50 years of combined NASA/Air Force/Research Institute experience in biological/biomedical technology development, satellite/spaceflight hardware development, sensor systems, electronic technologies and products, advanced technology assessment, program/project/product development and management, and technology advocacy.
