Responsible for researching and developing optical systems for PCR products. Have developed several products now in production. Expertise in CCD and CMOS sensors, LED illumination systems, hi-resolution multi-element lens design.

* Developed several Multi-well Multi-wavelength Fluorescence Detection System Conceptsfor Biotechnology startup companies.* Built a do-it-yourself Audiophile quality 100W Audio Power Amplifier* Designed, fabricated, assembled, tested, and optimized a three-way stereo speakersystem that achieved the goal of -3dB down at 35Hz audio frequency.* Designed and built a measuring microphone using a battery powered electret condenserelement.* Developed several FFT based audio measurement tools in LabView to measure speakerfrequency response. Developed third and sixth octave filters.

* Designed, developed, and optimized a prototype 3D optical switch. * Developed several MEMS-based telecommunications and opthalmic systems.* Developed optical design tools in Zemax to analyze the performance of MEMX Adaptive Optics arrays in a vision system. * Designed, developed, built and tested the optical system for a 32 port 3D Optical Switch Fabric using MEMS mirrors that achieved less than 1.4dB insertion loss per channel on all channels, the lowest in the industry. * Invented optical servo system and developed, tested, and implemented software to maintain alignment of MEMS mirrors for low insertion loss.* Developed software to move and align MEMS mirrors, locate and train the thousands of optical connections and monitor optical stability over temperature and vibration. * Drove the integration of optical, electronic and mechanical systems for the company's first system, a 32-port proof of principle demonstration at OFC.* Designed and then managed the development and qualification of a 32-port 2D collimator array fabricated by an outside vendor.* Developed a 288-port Optical Switch breadboard, demonstrating less than 1.5dB insertion loss.

* Developed several generations of Laser Induced Fluorescence optical detection systemsfor drug screening products, utilizing high NA lenses, single and multi-mode fibers, andPMT and CCD detectors.* Sole developer of a novel microscope optical system that rivals the performance ofconventional microscopes, yet is an order of magnitude smaller and less expensive (patentgranted).* Invented a method for rapidly locating and aligning an excitation beam to successivemicrochannels embedded in a plastic matrix (patent granted).* Developed numerous prototype data acquisition and analysis programs in LabView tolocate the center of microchannels, record electropherograms and process and analyze the
