Tau Technical is woman-owned business based in North Carolina.  Tau Technical was founded by Dawn Santoianni, an environmental engineering professional with over 20 years experience producing scientific documents for industry, government and academia. Dawn has testified before Congress on the impacts of proposed environmental policy; edited regulatory compliance documents; conducted comprehensive literature surveys and quality assurance reviews; and written technical reports for congressional, governmental, corporate, and public audiences.
