`COVER LETTER / SUMMARY
`
`This document is a career summary, description of work experience, list of presentations,
`publications, and funding summary, as well as references.
`It is essentially a cover letter
`combined with a CV.
`
`My career has ventured between academic and industrial pursuits. As such, I have expe-
`rienced the responsibilities of holding leadership positions, the privileges of working on
`significant projects, and the excitement of participating as an academic researcher
`and technology entrepreneur. Throughout these activities, I have maintained an active
`role in professional service as well as consultancy. These items are summarized below.
`
`I have primary expertise in topics related to speech/image processing, distributed &
`autonomous system architecture, and optimization of IP-based networks under Quality of
`Service constraints. These areas include contemporary “marketecture” concepts such as
`the “Internet of Things” and “Smart Grid/Smart City” initiatives. I have authored many
`technical publications and US/International patents on these topics. I am often invited to
`contribute to well-known multidisciplinary reference volumes, and have published topical
`books or chapters in books including:
`
`ˆ Smart Cities in Application: Healthcare, Policy, & Innovation (Springer, 2019)
`
`ˆ The Smart Grid as an Application Development Platform (Artech House, 2018)
`
`ˆ Smart Cities: Applications, Technologies, Standards, & Driving Factors (Springer)
`
`ˆ Advances in Computers (Elsevier)
`
`ˆ The IEEE/CRC Electrical Engineering Handbook (IEEE Press)
`
`ˆ The Encyclopedias of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (Wiley)
`
`ˆ Lecture Notes in Pure & Applied Mathematics (Marcel Dekker)
`
`ˆ Medicine Meets Virtual Reality: Global Healthcare Grid (IOS Press)
`
`Currently, I am the Director of a large-scale partnership with Jacobs Technology Group and
`NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC). The JSC Engineering, Technology and Science
`Program (JETS) provides multidisciplinary facilities and expertise to design, implement,
`test, and analyze technologies & applications with direct bearing on space flight and ex-
`traterrestrial reconnaissance. The JETS program creates fully-loaded revenue exceeding
`$1M/yr and involves multiple students, faculty, and NASA experts in relevant projects.
`
`Additionally, as co-Director of the Texas State University (TXST) “Connected Infras-
`tructure” initiative for Education, Demonstration, and Research (CIEDAR), I
`engage with industry partners to recruit members, define projects, and manage outcomes
`for a value-driven, multi-disciplinary consortium. The CIEDAR Consortium is a research,
`development, and demonstration testbed facility associated with the university’s small busi-
`ness and startup company incubator, and is funded via appropriation from the State of Texas
`for long-term workforce development, economic stimulation, and technology validation.
`
`The JETS Program and the CIEDAR Consortium have implications in several mar-
`ket verticals and social imperatives, including “Smart” and “Connected” devices, systems,
`applications, and other contemporary engineering issues in modern society as well as space
`exploration. These imperatives include energy & water management, “Internet of Things”

`timization for municipal applications, and reconciliation of the“digital divide.”
`
`Recently, as Professor (2008-present) and Director (2013-2018) of the Ingram School of
`Engineering at TXST, I performed typical research, teaching, and academic administrative
`duties, including:
`
`ˆ Managing & mentoring academic & technical personnel, including tenure-track faculty
`members in Electrical, Computer, Industrial, Manufacturing, and Civil Engineering,
`
`ˆ Overseeing departmental budgets, expenditures, & endowments, and developing new
`academic buildings & research facilities,
`
`ˆ Directing the development & implementation of new academic programs at the grad-
`uate and undergraduate levels,
`
`ˆ Cultivating value-driven industrial partnerships, and developing relationships between
`multi-disciplinary programs to enhance research outcomes.
`
`Previously, I held executive leadership positions in companies large and small. These
`positions were primarily focused on the high-tech computer networking, telecommunications
`and aerospace & defense sectors. A few previous leadership positions have included:

`
`Throughout my career, I’ve been privileged to participate in several significant projects.
`These activities span vertical markets including aerospace & defense programs, medical
`electronics & automation systems, development of new academic programs, and successful
`launch of a startup company in the “Smart Grid” space. A few of the more interesting
`projects include:
