Laser bioeffects studies. Laser Safety.

I serve on this consensus laser safety standard organization. This organization is made up of volunteers who seek to keep the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) laser safety standard current with today's technology.

I served on the US technical committee for the international laser safety standard (IEC 60825).

I served as conference chair for the International Laser Safety Conferences in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013. I will also serve as the chair in 2019. The International Laser Safety Conference, held on alternating years, is a comprehensive four-day conference covering all aspects of laser safety practice and hazard control. Technical sessions, practical applications sessions and workshops address developments in regulatory, mandatory and voluntary safety standards for laser products and for laser use. Laser safety experts from all over the world will meet and discuss their research, programs and standards. Professionals in all fields and applications will find ILSC® 2019 a tremendous source for information and networking opportunities.

I was elected by the members of the Laser Institute of America to serve on the Board of Directors. In this role I helped establish the course for the organization.

I was appointed to the executive board for the Laser Institute of America. I served as a "member at large" and helped establish the strategic and near-term course for the organization.
