Daniel Robles’s Summary

I have worked in the Innovation, Design, and Creative fields for 25 years. As an engineer, I have designed precision mechanisms for Spacecraft as well as large mechanized structures. In addition to aerostructures, my projects include theme park rides and and mechanical 'effects' for television and film.

As a test engineer, I was responsible for complex and precision testing and research for hypersonic vehicles in extreme environments and inclusive of mechanical engineering disciplines such as vibration, compressible fluids, thermodynamics, machine design, and mass transfer. As an educator, I directed one of the largest international comparative education research projects for the engineering profession. I currently teach International Management at City University of Seattle.

I am the Founder and Director of the Ingenesist Project which specifies the structure of the next economic paradigm, an innovation economy, built upon the operating system of social media.

As an author and researcher, I have developed upon the modern theory of Innovation Economics on the premise that all economic value, minus the exploitation of natural resources, is a result of human innovation. I have a Patent Pending related to the monetization of knowledge assets. I have spoken at numerous national and international conferences and have published in corporate and trade journals.

My goals are to coordinate with researchers in the field of innovation economics and social media, and to assist corporations, academia, and governments to integrate the innovation economics module to their social media campaign.
