Job Objective: A part time consulting/teaching position in electrical engineering in the general areas of dynamic systems, simulation, system control, digital control, circuits, electronics, electric power systems, and electromagnetics.

Present Location: Venice / Los Angeles, CA.

Education: Ph.D. in electrical engineering, Northwestern University, 1966.

Experience:

• Consultant: (A partial list follows.)
• David Taylor Research Center in Annapolis, MD (US Navy.) Research in the area of electromagnetic launchers. Two launchers were actually constructed and tested. A third very large launcher was completely designed (for a feasibility study.) [1, 2]
• Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. Design of a gimbal controller for a special airborne radar. [3]
• Pulse Electronics, Germantown, MD. Designed a miniature air driven motor. This work was of a proprietary nature hence there are no publications. The resulting motor was of a very new and innovative design.
• Eastalco, Frederick, MD. Research on nondestructive testing of anodes used in the production of aluminum. This resulted in an international patent (# 5,473,248) issued on December 5, 1995 "Method and Apparatus for Non-Destructive Detecting Flaws in a Carbon Anode." [4]
• Educator: (University of Maryland, College Park, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Over thirty publications and a list of courses taught will be provided upon request.)
• 1998—Present: Professor Emeritus.
• 1987—1998: Professor.
• 1987—1996: Associate Chairman of the Dept., in charge of Graduate Education.
• 1972—1980: Director of Undergraduate Education in the Dept.
• 1970—1987: Associate Professor.
• 1967—1970: Assistant Professor.

Member: IEEE, Sigma Xi, Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Beta Pi.

Sponsored Research: Over $3,900,000 in research funds over a period of nearly thirty years.

Hobbies and Interests: Woodworking, bicycling, birding, gardening, construction.
