Stephen O’Grady, of East Providence, Rhode Island, has been chosen as the next deputy technical director for technical excellence at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport.

In his new role as deputy technical director, O’Grady will be responsible for overseeing the warfare center’s chief engineer, chief technology officer, quality assurance team, and other key personnel. He will maintain regular communication with Technical Director Marie Bussiere, with whom he has a long-standing professional relationship.
