Investigations into rf metrology and the underlying fundamental limitations to proper measurement and control. Specifically, understanding the theoretical interaction of the sensor, load, any intervening networks, and the data acquisition system.

My work experience includes a two-year assignment as a mechanical engineer for Cincinnati Milicron designing machine tool sub-assemblies. Design work accomplished at the Worcester, MA plant was supplemented by travel as a field engineer in support of customer requirements. After leaving Cincinnati Milicron and completing my post graduate work, I accepted a one-year assignment as a field engineer for Techware Systems in Vancouver, BC. Following my work for Techware Systems, I was hired as a Staff Engineer by IBM at their Burlington, VT manufacturing facility. After four years at IBM I returned to academia as a Research Scientist. I am currently the Managing Director for the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility (LNF) at the University of Michigan. I have been granted twenty-seven patents and currently have five additional patent applications, under review, at the US patent office. I have several refereed publications in such journals as the Journal of Vacuum Technology and the IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing.

I have an Associates degree in Mechanical Engineering from Vermont Technical College, a Bachelors degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA and a Masters and Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. My Doctoral degree majored in solid-state physics, and minored in circuits.

Plan and manage the operations of an 11,000 square foot clean-room research facility as well as provide technical assistance for the primary research faculty. Responsibilities include providing for long-range objectives, policies and procedures for the facility; managing and coordinating the efforts of 17 full-time technicians and engineers; coordinating safety activities to meet university, state and federal regulations; and involving myself in the research activities of the faculty by providing intellectual content into their research.
