PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Senior-level Research Scientist with a proven history in developing innovative, award-winning software and instrumentation. Extensive experience in designing and implementing cutting edge product development and managing full production lifecycle. Engaging public speaker with extensive experience as a guest lecturer in academic and scientific settings. Conversational in German with solid communication, relationship building, and negotiation skills. Collaborative leader who thrives in start-up environments.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  • Created, developed, and licensed Optica modeling and analysis software (www.opticasoftware.com) which

    is used by numerous businesses and academic institutions for optical applications. Notable customers include Lawrence Livermore, NASA, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Harvard University, University of Oxford, Microsoft Corporation, Canon USA, Inc., Intel Corporation, and Sony Corporation.

  • Designed and developed multiple optical subsystems used in Sony Biotechnology’s flow cytometers, combining advanced optical, electronic, and signal processing hardware technologies at a retail price of over $1M per unit.

  • Gained recognition as a founder of the holographic velocimetry discipline and a world leader in holographic meteorology work through demonstrating the world’s first successful holographic instrument to measure 3D velocity fields in fluids. This accomplishment resulted in a patent and was featured in Applied Optics journal.

  • Employed HPC (High Performance Computing) on the cloud to solve a modeling problem in 14 days that would have required 3 years to run on a single computer.

  • Solved key optical problem in development of Augmented Reality Solutions.

  • 24 publications and 350 citations.
