PROFESSIONAL CAREER PROGRESSION

Orthopaedics Research Lab – University of Utah – Salt Lake City, Ut 2009 to present

Research Engineer

Key Highlights:

Design and construct hardware and software to study materials and techniques in orthopaedic medicine. Studies

Include comparison of various interventions in total reverse shoulder implants, bone cement viscosities used

in replacements, healing properties of percutaneous bone implants. See CV for list of publications.

Stanford Linear Accelerator Center – Stanford University – Menlo Park, CA 1980 to 2009

Engineering Physicist

Key Highlights:

Familiar with the following analytical techniques and equipment: X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS),

Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with

Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Photospectrometer, Ultra High Vacuum

Systems, electron guns, X-ray sources, small current measurement (picoamp), UV light sources, monochrometers,

electron and photon detectors, motion controllers, data acquisition devices, IEEE devices.

1. Using highly unique requirements, successfully designed and implemented hardware and software interfaces

used for systems control, data acquisition and analysis

2. Executed secondary Electron Yield Measurements on unique sample topography, in particular scanning grooves

requiring unique solutions

3. Novel Wire scanner/ E150 hardware software interface, PC, SLAC control

4. Proprietary hardware/programming language

5. Ecloud 1-3 – Project Management

6. Legacy – SEM, Photospectrometer, PDP – 11/RT11

Hardware – Std daq – a/d, d/a, continuing, timing

IEEE devices

RS232

Motion controllers – linear/rotational

7. Software – Fortran,C++, assembly language, interrupt service routines, interfaces to SLAC control systems

Data fitting software, Labview and Matlab

8. SLAC unique challenges – mix of vendors/in-house hardware/software – unusual requirements for hardware

I and V – integration into legacy systems

In the key role of Engineering Physicist I was responsible for designing R&D surface physics experiments and

experimental systems in support of accelerator and vacuum system design, fabrication and operation. Key recent

successful collaborations include 1) photocathode design for the Stanford Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) which

allowed rapid achievement of design goals for beam quality during machine commissioning and, (2) development of high

electric field breakdown-resistant electron accelerating structures for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) that met a key design

goal for manufacturing.
