Mensah joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1986 and led the program to develop
the fiber optic reels used in the guided missile program until 1989. This effort
led to the development of a system that was successfully deployed at missile
speeds up to Mach 1 (the speed of sound). Dr. Mensah also founded, and currently
serves as the chairman of, Supercond Technology in Norcross, Georgia, which
specializes in Aerospace and Communication products. Supercond Technology
focuses on advanced structural materials development for supersonic US fighter
