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.
