As Chief Technology Officer at Infinia, Maury White represents a consistent thread of expertise that stretches back throughout our history. The story starts in 1966, when the predecessor group to Infinia formed at the Donald W. Douglas Laboratories, a McDonnell Douglas energy R&D center operating out of Richland, Washington. Maury joined as part of the free-piston Stirling engine team and spent the following decade working on a series of innovations which continued after the Stirling group was transferred to the University of Washington in 1978 at a branch campus in Richland.

Under Maury's leadership, the UW Stirling group initiated a technology transfer spinoff in 1985 to form Stirling Technology Company, later renamed Infinia Corporation. The company has been responsible for a series of technological breakthroughs, including the development of the artificial heart program, which ran from 1967 through to 1994. Later, the focus switched to the NASA space power program, culminating in a $23 million contract for radioisotope space power systems development.

Today, Maury continues to play a pivotal role at the heart of our work on combined heat and power, military systems and advanced technology. His belief in the capacity of our technology to change the way the world uses energy remains one of the driving forces behind the company.
