}}Maurice Nelles (died August 30, 2011) was an engineer, business executive and professor.[1]

Early life and education

Nelles was born in Madison, South Dakota. Nelles earned a Bachelor's degree in 1927 and a Master's degree in 1928, both from the University of South Dakota and earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1934.[1][2] While at Harvard, he held the Charles A. Coffin Fellowship and the George H. Emerson and Harvard scholarships.[2]

Career

During World War II, Nelles worked at Lockheed Corporation and the War Production Board.[1] While at Lockheed, Nelles and his coworkers Morlan A. Visel and Ernest L. Black proposed a "Pacific Research Foundation" which eventually became SRI International.[3]

After Lockheed, Nelles became a professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of Southern California, where he designed the laboratory ship Velero IV.[1] In 1949 he oversaw Otis Barton's record-breaking 4500 ft deep sea dive off of Santa Cruz Island in a benthoscope that Nelles had designed.[1][4] He would also teach at Pennsylvania State University and the University of Virginia.[1]

He served as the director of research for Borg Warner, Technicolor, Crane, and Westinghouse.[1] He was later a consultant to the National Academy of Sciences.[5]

Nelles died August 30, (year unknown) in La Jolla, California.[1]
