Professional Summary: This Ph.D. has nearly 50 years of optical data storage, novel computer storage technologies, and photonics experience(including holography, flat panel displays and digital image processing and cameras). His academic focus was on modern optics, electromagnetic theory, communications and information theory, and advanced mathematics. Starting in 1965 at the University of Michigan, he began a lifetime of research and development in the highly specialized areas of optical data and image storage,processing/computing, and communications and image-capture and display. He is a well-known expert in the field of advanced data storage, holography, photonics, digital image capture and processing, and small computer systems.
This Expert's main areas of interest are optical storage (CD, DVD, and Blu-ray/Blue-laser-disc formats), 3D holographic memories, lasers, flat panel displays, digital imaging/cameras, renewable energy, fiber optics, LEDs, materials science, nanotechnology, control and processing of light beams, and photonic components and their integration into fully functional systems. He has significant engineering, product and business development, and sales & marketing management experience. Finally, he has been a consultant for over 27 years and an expert witness for over 24 years.
This Ph.D. opened a test and forensics lab in October 2004. The lab is focused on test and evaluation of CD/DVD, Blu-ray Disc, other optical storage, flat panel displays, digital imaging/cameras, small computer systems, and related storage and consumer electronics products. The capabilities of the lab have been successfully used for patent infringement and class action litigations. |
