WORK EXPERIENCE
Hewlett -Packard Company November 2007 to present
Research & Development Department
Minnetonka, Minnesota
Software Design Engineer/ R&D Color Engineer:
1. Developed embedded software code for the Nucleus and Integrity RTOS
implementation to the large - format Hewlett - Packard printers.
2. Coded the software for the implementation of the embedded color
measurement devices (I2C bus communication and (X-Rite) technology)
into printer's functional architecture.
3. Designed, configured and overseen complex workflow testing procedures
and methods for evaluating the ICC-profile accuracy, color
device performance analysis and digital UV-ink printers quality
control.
4. Represented our R&D Lab on global scale projects spanning multiple
business units within Hewlett-Packard to configuring
standardized color procedures, methods and
measurement techniques for color quality evaluation and printing workflow.
MacDermid ColorSpan Company September 1999 to
October 2007
Research & Development Department
Minnetonka, Minnesota
Software Design Engineer/ R&D Color Engineer:
1. Created ColorSpan's Kodiak software tool for printer ICC profiling.
. 2. Developed color-calibration software and multi-density ink
separation algorithms for the printing process.
3. Implemented a novel procedure to generate mono-chrome(multi-
density black) printer ICC profiles.
4. Developed computational geometry and computer graphic algorithms
for gamut mapping, cLUT-grid interpolation, K-channel
preservation and UCR/GCR implementation.
5. Developed R&D software tool for gamut volume calculation and
surface visualization.
6. Coded software tools for color space transformation (CIELAB,
CIEXYZ, CIECAM97s, CIECAM02).
7. Coded the software for implementation of Dtp22, Dtp41, I1-color
measurement devices.
8. Configured and overseen the Lab technicians team performing the
color workflow for ICC profile quality tests, error
evaluation procedures, data interpretation and analysis.
9. 60% -65% of the ColorSpan printer costumers/buyers were the users
of the Color Management software package
developed as a result of my R&D work.
Washington State University June
1998 to June1999
Department of Physics
Pullman, Washington
Post-Doctoral Research Associate:
1. Configured and performed time-resolved optical measurements on
amorphous-Si using femto - second laser pulses in pump-
probe experiments.
2. Software development (MATLAB, LABVIEW) for power spectrum
measurements..
3. Taught undergraduate physics courses for engineering students.
The University of Wyoming July
1997 to May 1998
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Laramie, Wyoming
Lecturer:
1. Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Physical Statics course
teaching.
2. Created software tools for nonlinear curve fitting and computer
simulations of nonlinear optical phenomena (parametric
processes, harmonic generation in Na vapor, hyper-Raman
spectroscopy).
3. Created software programs to solve numerically (using Runge-Kutta
methods), the matter - field interaction (Maxwell-Block
equations) and electromagnetic wave propagation.
