Principal Investigator, Concept and prototype development, patent disclosures, mechanical design using 3D parametric modeling software, constructing and testing hardware in the laboratory, creative problem solving, writing reports and making formal presentations at conferences and in front of customers as well as business development and marketing- Developed standardized Dewar assembly which could be used for either 640 or 320 detector and configured to be cooled by Joule Thomson Cryocooler or in a IDCA configuration with a Sterling cycle refrigerator. This reduced camera cost considerably.- Develop high thermal dissipation packaging or LED print-head which allowed development to move forward with Photographic printer- Developed air sampling system that collected micron sized particles in an aerosol, concentrated them and captured them in a liquid for analysis. This was a key enabling technology for the miniature bio threat detection system.- Developed membrane to meter fuel into cell for a biological-based fuel cell. This was a technological breakthrough that enabled the development.- Developed prototype for generating terahertz radiation from the interaction between an electron beam and a grating. The challenges of ultrahigh vacuum, high magnetic fields, miniature ribbon electron gun and active nano positioning were accomplished.

Principal Mechanical Engineer on all IRCCD camera programs. Responsible for the development of advanced cryogenic packaging concepts for state-of-the-art large format infrared focal plane array camera systems. Functioned as a one-man mechanical engineering department responsible for concept, analysis, computer-aided design, fabrication, testing, and troubleshooting including technical interface with both customers and vendors
