INDUSTRIAL

EXPERIENCE:

Virtual Test Facility (VTF): Manager of the facility from 1998-Present.

The VTF is the place were engineers design, simulate, develop and optimize the performance of antennas, microwave circuits, electronic circuits, printed circuits, and systems as part of the research and development effort of the Electromagnetics Department. This is the area were engineers will meet with the customers, discuss requirements, and develop a prototype.

My responsibilities include preparation and presentation of yearly budgets, software evaluation, maintenance, approval and purchasing, hardware, evaluation, maintenance, approval and purchasing. The facility has a budget of about $250K.

Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR): Evaluator and Monitor for NUWC from 1998-Present.

This is a Navy wide program. I submitted topics for inclusion in the program and I actively participated in the evolution of submitted proposals. Duties include monitoring of the projects through monthly and final reports, and on-site visits to get first hand information and assess progress of the work done. Two of the projects successfully completed Phase I ($60K + $30K) and awarded Phase II ($600K + $250K), while another project was terminated at Phase II (it was not awarded Phase III).

In addition, I am an evaluator of submitted proposal by small business. One such proposal was selected and awarded Phase I money for the latest solicitation topic “Radio Room RF Integrating Switching Matrix”.

Principal Investigator (PI): For the FY06.

I was funded through the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) for the proposal “Modernization of Virtual test Facility – VTF.” The project includes a one-year 90K funding to upgrade the current hardware and software of the Virtual Test Facility.

Principal Investigator (PI): During the Fiscal years 2000 and 2001 (FY00 and FY01).

I was funded through the In-House Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) to conduct research in the area of “fractal antennas”. Two conference and one journal publications was the result of this effort. I am currently working in this area with additional publications in preparation.

Team Member: From 1992-Present.

As a team member, I worked and continue to work on a variety of projects. Some of the projects require work as a member of a team, while others require individual work. In both cases, the final result always gets a peer review. Typical projects I participated in include:

            Antenna Matching Networks

            Plasma Antennas

            Optical Switching

            Radar Bearing Improvement

            Radar Cross Section

            Numerical evaluation of fields of conductor current distribution

In addition I was involved in:

            Writing proposals for funded work.

            Ordering equipment for new installations.

            Developing in house programs for engineering applications

Teaching and development of instructional material for learning  the “Modern Greek Language and Culture.”

I am teaching classes and continuously develop multimedia material to assist children and adults alike in learning Modern Greek. There is a strong Greek community in the area that dates back to the end of the nineteenth - beginning of the twentieth century. When I moved to the area, due to my work transfer from New London, CT, to Newport, RI, I was offered to teach classes at the Greek School. I accepted the position on a volunteer basis. Currently, the school has a paid instructor for the children while I continue as a volunteer to teach adult classes. It was in this effort and due to the limited amount of interaction (one to two hours, a week), that I developed the multimedia software products using Visual Basic, accompanied by workbooks. You can get a feeling of the material at:

Organization of a Bookstore for the Saint Spyridon Orthodox Church, Newport, RI.

When I moved to Newport, RI, (1996) and joined the local Greek-American community and Church, I proposed and established a bookstore. It specializes in books on Hellenism and the Christian Orthodox faith, which are otherwise difficult to be found in local major bookstores. The bookstore has been running successfully since its inception on 1996. A similar successful effort was initiated in the Saint Sophia Community and Church in New London, CT. I established and operated that bookstore from 1992-1996, and it is still in operation. A picture from the 1995 festival can been seen at:

America Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA).

Currently serving my fourth, one-year term as president after serving two years as vice president. The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) is by far the largest Greek American organization. The mission of AHEPA family is to promote Hellenism, Education, Philanthropy, Civic Responsibility, and Individual Excellence. In addition, the local chapter in Newport, provides scholarships, donates books to the local libraries and colleges, organizes a yearly dance, etc. Lately we pledged $20K to the local hospital (Newport Hospital) and assist in the establishment of the Hellenic Studies Center at the university of Rhode Island.
