J. E. Owens joined the du Pont company in 1950 and held several technical positions with a primary interest in the measurement and control of electrostatic charges and electrostatic hazards. Prior to his 1985 retirement he was a senior consultant in the Hazards Engineering Group in duPont's Engineering Department. He is now an independent consultant, specializing in electrostatics and hazards analysis.
