QED Technologies developed and commercialized an optical polishing technique that was ahead of its time as we were transitioning from the 1990's to the 2000's. This technique utilizes a magneto rheological fluid as the tool that polishes optics in a deterministic and converging process. This technology has opened up the design and fabrication space to.

(Formerly ITT Industries, Space Systems Division)

Led and managed various R&D projects for process improvement related to optical manufacturing. In particular, chemo-mechanical grinding & polishing, blocking techniques & optical testing and measuring were areas of focus. One project that I managed, resulted in a patent (USPN: 7364493) for a process and machine to manufacture off-axis aspheric optics..
