Education

University of California, Riverside B.S. 1968 Physics
University of California, San Diego M.S. 1970 Physics

Research and Professional Experience
1967-1968 Undergraduate Research Assistant, film scanner, high energy
particle physics bubble chamber photographs.
1968-1970 NSF Trainee (a type of fellowship), Department of Physics,
University of California, San Diego.
1970-1975 Research Assistant, Department of Physics, developing the first
practical multiwire proportional counter adapted for use as an area
detector in protein X-ray crystallography. This was my Ph.D. project.
1975-1983 Assistant Research Physicist, Department of Physics, University of California, San Diego.
Operation and X-ray detector development work associated with the NIH Research resource Facility for X-ray data collection. This facility did protein X-ray crystallography data collection for U.S. users. Data collection time at this facility was granted by a committee of respected U.S. crystallographers who met once per year. This facility was the first in the world where X-ray diffraction data could routinely be collected on two dimensional position sensitive (i.e., "area") detectors.
1983-1986 Associate Research Physicist, Department of Biology, University of California, San Diego.
The design of the multiwire counter area detector had stabilized to the point that a commercial version appeared to be feasible. There was a considerable demand for this commercial version from crystallographers who had used the NIH Research Resource. I started Area Detector Systems Corporation in 1983 as a part time venture.
1986-present Full time President/CEO, Area Detector Systems Corporation.
