Long was instrumental in the transformation of long wave infrared imaging from academic science to commercial product. At Essess, Long worked with technology delivery and go-to-market teams to help drive commercial applications for scientific discoveries across multiple products and industries. As one of the world’s leading authorities on high resolution infrared (IR) imaging, Long co-developed the company’s first energy loss detection application: a high-throughput imaging collection and energy loss analytic solution for building envelopes. Essess was chosen as a 2012 Sustainia100 company as part of the World’s 100 of the most outstanding sustainable solutions.Long's achievements include: • Successfully raising over $7 million in initial seed and Series A funding as an MIT graduate student. • Initiating, developing, and deploying disruptive technology to reduce the average cost per thermal audit ($1 per audit) based on rapid mobile thermal imaging technology. Long also introduced the concept as scalable technology to develop a national energy database targeted at Residential Energy Efficiency. • Designing, developing, and delivering a 100% digital real-time vehicle based synthetic aperture imaging solution (7 LWIR cameras (30 FPS, 16-bit) w/ integrated sensors, IMU, and GPS on a local PC-based DVR) • Organizing, hiring, and leading engineering efforts, developing proof-of-concept systems, and demonstrating successful product development of hardware/software platform solution for the first citywide thermography scan of Cambridge/Boston. Long also demonstrated successful remote bi-coastal operation of the technology.

• Founded team and developed the Investment Strategy Development Process™, an alpha focused algorithmic trading development environment to efficiently model, test, verify, and deploy quantitative investment strategies.• Successfully deployed a high frequency proprietary equity trading algorithm which transacted over 1% of the NYSE listed shares volume on a daily basis with a high Sharpe ratio (> 10).• High level understanding of market micro-structures including information/volatility/liquidity relationships, price discovery methodologies, price predictive modeling, real-time markets, dynamic market modeling, developing back-testing methodologies, time-series analysis, large scale data mining, and market alpha discovery and extraction processes.
