Professional Summary: This expert witness has over 30 years experience in the Semiconductor industry, including the design of multiple custom integrated circuits, hybrid assemblies, manufacturing processes, and commercial and defense electronic systems. He held senior technical roles at Fairchild, Intel, ESL/TRW, GTE, and three startup companies spanning the semiconductor, printing, and defense industries. He has developed advanced technology for integrating semiconductors into systems, including two new flip chip connectors, a novel cooling method, a new test methodology, a solder-free assembly method, and also wafer and panel level processing, including automation for low cost production. As a systems engineer on military reconnaissance systems, he developed large-scale hardware and software systems. He is currently developing a new electrostatic motor technology based on Coulomb forces, offering higher torque in smaller sizes as well as more energy-efficient operation at an operating voltage of 10kV. This expert witness is the author of over 20 patents, recently having a small portfolio of patents acquired by a major oversees manufacturer. He also served as an expert consultant for an ongoing patent infringement matter involving liquid crystal display technology. Finally, he has developed a method for writing patent landscape analyses in his areas of expertise, including engineering commentary; these are also used as Freedom to Operate (FTO) products. |
