CIRTEMO manufactures both point detection sensors and hyperspectral imaging systems via two complementary technology platforms: Multivariate Optical Computing (MOC) and Pattern Transfer Nanomanufacturing (PTMN). MOC allows for the design and manufacture of patented optical filters which are encoded to measure complex chemical compounds and attributes in real-time. PTMN enables the manufacture of custom diffractive optics and other nanoscale components.My responsibilities include: - Direction and oversight of all technology research & development - Technical sales & marketing as well as supporting business development - Intellectual property creation and protection - Proposal development for securing external funding (customer facing as well as SBIR) - Managing a technical team of scientists and engineers (and external contractors)

OMETRIC Corporation was founded in 2005 by Jason Williamson which licensed Multivariate Optical Computing technology from the University of South Carolina. OMETRIC developed measurement solutions for many industrial applications as well as expanded the patent portfolio from just a handful to over 40 patents (25 issued and 15 pending). CIRTEMO developed several commercially viable product lines in less than 5 years in a wide variety of large industrial sectors, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pet nutrition, mining, food, and many others. OMETRIC was sold to Halliburton Energy Servicesin 2011.My responsibilities included: - Determining the technical feasibility of inline spectroscopic process control systems - Technical sales and marketing - Fabricating Multivariate Optical Elements (MOES), application-specific optical filters - Developing internal software solutions for designing optical filters as well as instrument calibration
