Javad Mokhbery (born 1952) is an American businessman and philanthropist.[1][2][3] He is the founder and current chief executive officer (CEO) of FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology.[4][5]
Biography
Born in 1952 in Iran, Mokhbery moved to England at the age of 19 to receive his early education.[6][7] In January 1974, he came to Detroit and sold ice cream to pay his way through college and pursue higher education.[8] He attended Lawrence Technological University and graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering in 1979.[9][10] After graduation, he worked in Detroit and California for various sensor companies, including Rockwell International on the Discovery space shuttle.[7][6]
In 1985, Mokhbery founded FUTEK, initially focusing on cryogenic sensors for the space shuttle Discovery mission.[11][12][13] FUTEK built two sensors for NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity, capable of operating in the planet's low temperatures.[12] One sensor monitored the rover's drilling arm and robotic maneuvers, while the other oversaw the drilling force and precision on the Martian surface.[12][14] The rover landed in August 2012.[15] His company continues to collaborate with NASA on various projects, including the next-generation Mars rover's robotic arm, and the development of parachute sensors and docking station load cells for the International Space Station.[12]
In September 2022, Mokhbery was inducted into the LTU Scholl of Engineering Hall of Fame.[16][17]
In November 2022, Mokhbery ran as a candidate in the Laguna Niguel City Council election.[18][19]
Philanthropy
As a philanthropist, Mokhbery has supported the Saddleback College Foundation, Irvine Public Scholl Foundation, and Families Forward.[20][21]
In 2020, Lawrence Technological University established the Advanced Cybersecurity Computer Lab, made possible by a gift from Mokhbery.[7]
