`
`identification of expert witnesses who may offer testimony at the hearing in this matter.
`
`This identification of experts and expected areas of testimony is preliminary and is based
`
`on Respondents’ current understanding of the evidence produced and claims asserted in this
`
`Investigation to date. Discovery is ongoing and final contentions have not yet been exchanged
`
`among the parties. Accordingly, Respondents reserve the right to supplement and/or amend this
`
`identification, including by identifying additional expert witnesses, designating additional topics
`
`that the below-listed experts or any additional expert witness may opine on, and/or addressing
`
`new issues that may arise through discovery and/or Complainants’ expert witness disclosure.
`
`Respondents further reserve the right to call any expert witness that a party deposes; call expert
`
`witnesses identified by, or called to testify at the hearing by any other party; and call
`
`impeachment witnesses not identified below.

`
`Patented and played key role in the characterization and implementation of
`several new fluorescent lamp types including a series of energy saving T8
`lamps and several specialty fluorescent lamps for cinema photography,
`grocery stores, etc. and new longer lasting electrode designs. Also
`developed software for designing fluorescent lamps to meet customer
`specifications that is widely used at GE and includes a library of over 100
`phosphor spectra. Modeled firing of phosphor powders and achieved a very
`significant increase in the chemical plant’s throughput through a novel
`design of the firing cake and process. Championed the development of the
`helical fluorescent lamp at GE – patented several design innovations,
`demonstrated advantages over the then current bent tube CFL’s, helped set
`up a manufacturing line in Circleville, Ohio, etc. Received several
`management awards for these activities. Obtained extensive 6-sigma training
`which was used for all projects.
`Technical Leader and Individual Contributor
`Lead a team working on new phosphors and processes, carried out Monte-
`Carlo and other studies of light scattering, modeled and designed new
`electrodes, carried out pioneering molecular dynamic simulations of
`commercial glasses, implemented visco-elastic constitutive equations in
`FEM codes and carried out several FEM heat transfer/stress studies of GE
`processes/products including of the light output and temperature distribution
`in flash lamps. Also determined the mechanism of energy transfer in
`important commercial phosphors and investigated other luminescent
`phenomena in phosphors.
