A career spanning more than 20 years in electro-optical systems supports this expert’s specialization in electro-optical system design and debugging, with expertise in optical instrumentation, medical devices, semiconductor processing and inspection equipment, pollution sensing, ultra-sensitive amplifiers, spectrometers, single-pixel cameras, displays, ultrastable lasers, geophysical instruments, tactical communications, vacuum instruments, agricultural product grading, spectroscopic remote sensing, and proprietary product development. His experience also includes intellectual property matters involving patent invalidity, infringement, claim construction, and prior art analysis related to electro-optical technologies. He has more than 5 years of expert witness experience providing consultations, depositions, and courtroom testimony.

His professional background includes service as Principal of an electro-optical engineering consultancy, Research Staff Member in advanced optical interconnection, computer science, and manufacturing research, Post-Doctoral Scientist, and Member of Technical Staff for research and technology organizations. In these roles, he designed, developed, and supported the commercialization of electro-optical systems and instrumentation for biomedical applications, semiconductor manufacturing, lidar, spectroscopy, photonics, optical communications, integrated photonics, geophysical sensing, agricultural sensing, and human-computer interface technologies. His work has included system architecture, prototype development, reverse engineering, integrated photonic device design, optical measurement systems, low-noise electronics, firmware and software development, electromagnetic simulation, and product development for scientific and industrial applications.

In addition to his engineering and consulting work, he has authored a textbook on electro-optical system design, numerous technical and peer-reviewed publications, and holds multiple U.S. patents covering photonics, optical interconnection, semiconductor instrumentation, microscopy, infrared imaging, solar energy, and electro-optical measurement technologies. His qualifications are further supported by a Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Physics, a Master of Science in Applied Physics, a Bachelor of Science with Combined Honors in Astronomy and Physics, and professional recognition including the IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Award, IBM Research Division Award, IBM Master Inventor, R&D 100 Award, and the Photonics Spectra Commercial Technology Award.
