Mansfield, Ohio (Usa)

Development (modeling, simulation, design, testing, validation, reporting/documentation) of new sensor technologies, packaging, and signal processing algorithms. Lead the pre-production design validation of a low-power, wireless temperature and relative humidity sensor. Was responsible for the evaluation and verification testing of a wireless high-voltage / current sensor design requiring certification to UL/IEC safety standards.Inventor/co-inventor on 15+ patents and patent applications.Author/co-author on 2 publications

Corning, Ny

Lead technical reviews to address customer quality concerns, coordinated announcements of new high-bandwidth, low attenuation, single-mode (SM), fiber-optic (FO) products, and facilitated on-site technology exchange sessions with the customer.

Duncan, Sc

Development of new Optical Ground-Wire (OPGW) cable designs using proprietary FO packaging. Technical lead for the company’s first turnkey OPGW cable installation. Supervised the deployment of the OPGW system over a one-year period to insure the project was completed on time and within budget. Prepared project documentation / reports (in Spanish) for customer approval and hand-off.Author/co-author on 1 publication.

Blacksburg, Va

Responsible for consulting, contract R&D, and product development of fiber optic sensor systems. Patented a high resolution OTDR-based fiber optic strain sensor, and worked with a large German construction company to commercialize it for bridge, dam, and "earth anchor" monitoring systemsthroughout Europe. Principal investigator on four government sponsored Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs.Inventor/co-inventor on 3 patents and patent applications.Author/co-author on 10+ publications.

Hickory, Nc

Worked with Dr. Bruce Hellman (last Ph.D. student of physics Nobel prize winner Paul Dirac) on developing a closed-form model for the radius of curvature in 'double-helices' to predict surface strain in stranded optical fibers. Modeled micro-bending effects of 'tight-buffered' optical fibers. Was responsible for successfully leading several tight-buffered-fiber cable design programs.Inventor/co-inventor on 2 patents and patent applications.Author/co-author on 3 publications
