Experience as a Communications Generalist

Analyzed architecture of Naval and joint tactical communication systems to determine compatibility between electromagnetic/acoustic/optical networks with respect to channel capacity, error rate, modulation, multiplexing, and covertness requirements. Concerned with communication links between multiple platforms, including air, sea, subsurface, and satellites, at frequencies from low acoustic through optical. Prepared Program Plans, point papers, and presentations by program and project managers.

Analyzed NATO joint (between U.S. forces and between forces of different Allies) communication networks to determine capability for data transmission between tactical computers in Central Europe. Concerned with data rate, error rate, channel capacity, and vulnerability. Also concerned with compatibility between modulation, multiplexing, addressing, switching, coding, and encryption techniques.

Simulated UWB (ultra-wide band) waveforms and their propagation in various complex environments. Determined interference limits due to operation of multiple UWB transmitters.

Experience Concerning Electromagnetic Interference and Bioelectromagnetic Effects

Computer modeling and expert testimony concerning proposed communication tower complex on Eldorado Mountain, Jefferson County, Colorado, with special attention to bioelectromagnetic effects and interference to consumer electronic devices.

Simulated and/or measured fields inside office buildings and possible techniques for attenuating same.

Contracted by NASA to document known biological effects of electromagnetic fields on humans.

For various law firms, researched and prepared expert testimony relating to electromagnetic radiation hazards due to communication antennas and power lines.

Appeared as expert witness to Vernon, New Jersey (concerning clustering of birth defects in vicinity of satellite antenna farm), and Samuel Yannon (concerning death after prolonged microwave near field exposure) cases.

Guest speaker at Rockefeller University Medical Research Center, New York. Guest on Canadian Broadcast Company radio program "Daybreak".

Experience as an Educator
