EW #1042 has 35 plus years of both academic and industrial experience as an electrical engineer. He has strong analytical skills, with particularly abilities in math, physics, and engineering principles. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in Texas and a Senior Member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). He operates a private consulting practice, and he is also an adjunct faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of The University of Texas at Austin.

He was employed by the Electrical Engineering Research Laboratory (EERL) of UT Austin, where he was involved in various research projects, including studies of low-frequency electromagnetic fields, underground communications; submarine detection, missile detection, monitoring high-altitude atomic blasts, and R&D work in use of electromagnetic fields in geophysical exploration. Later, he became a principal in the company Geotronics Corporation, in Austin, TX, which produced and sold instrumentation for electrical geophysics and provided exploration services to the petroleum, mining , and geothermal industries. At Geotronics,he was Executive VP and Director of R&D. He designed and developed numerous instrumentation systems for field data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. Geotronics was sold to Halliburton in 1987.

EW #1042 i s the owner and operator of an electrical engineering consulting business that he founded in 1990. In his consulting practice, he has extensive experience in R&D, design, development, and problem solving in numerous areas of his profession. These areas include: instrumentation systems, data acquisition, signal processing, digital signal processing (DSP), computer driven systems, micro-controllers, control systems, electromagnetic, RF systems, antennas and propagation, data telemetry, communications, modem development, geophysical systems and applications, electrical power engineering, and power-line fields, etc. Much of his work is on the class of problems requiring an in-depth analysis and for which ‘cook book’ type engineering methods are ineffective.

Although it has not been his primary business, he has done some legal expert witness work. Some case types on which he has worked include: electrocution in a factory environment (1 case); electrocution by crane -- power-line contact (2 cases); carnival ride accidental death (1 case -- Himalayas Ride, near Austin. Worked for DA); intellectual property disputes (2 cases); dispute related to power-line magnetic fields. He is available for this kind of work for cases in which he can help.
