Javad Mokhbery (born 1952) is an American businessman and philanthropist.[1][2][3] He is the founder and current chief executive officer of FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology.[4][5]
Early life and education[edit]
Mokhbery was born in 1952 in Iran and moved to England at the age of 19 to receive his early education.[6] Later, 1974, he moved to Detroit, U.S. and graduated from Lawrence Technological University with bachelors in mechanical engineering in 1979.[7][8]
Career[edit]
After finishing his studies, he worked in Detroit and California for different sensor companies, contributing to projects such as the Discovery space shuttle.[6] In 1985, he established FUTEK, initially focusing on cryogenic sensors for the Discovery space shuttle mission.[9][10] FUTEK later created sensors for NASA's Curiosity rover, designed to function in the planet's low temperatures.[11] These sensors monitored the rover's drilling arm, drilling force, and precision on the Mars surface.[12] The rover landed in August 2012, and his company continues to collaborate with NASA on various projects, including the next-generation Mars rover's robotic arm, parachute sensors, and load cells for the International Space Station.[13][11]
In September 2022, Mokhbery was honored in the LTU School of Engineering Hall of Fame.[14][15] In November 2022, he participated as a candidate in the Laguna Niguel City Council election.[16][17] Mokhbery supports the Saddleback College Foundation, Irvine Public Scholl Foundation, and Families Forward.[18] In 2020, Lawrence Technological University established the Advanced Cybersecurity Computer Lab, made possible by a gift from Mokhbery.[6]
