Top Technologist, currently designing and developing the next generation of autonomous flying robotic technology for space missions (JPL) and terrestrial applications, e.g., Mars helicopters beyond NASA's Ingenuity • Led the design and development of major critical aspects of the NASA Constellation Program (MSFC, Boeing). Most avionics and flight software used in the NASA's Space Launch System (SLS).
Led start-up multimedia & telecom technology development, to aprox. 70 engineering staff and a successful acquisition for approx. U.S. 1/3--1/2 Billion (Broadcom) within one year. • Designed secure OS and network at the highest level of trust for NSA program (Harris)
Youngest IEEE Fellow ("Nobel" prize in engineering) worldwide in history • Co-Developed the most advanced NASA spacecraft to fly to the boundaries of the solar system (JPL) • Designed entire family of Mars spacecraft and missions (SpaceDev, JPL, CNES)
Led the R&D of the most complex real-time intelligent supercomputer ever built successfully demonstrated during NASA-ESA-DLR STS-55 flight of Spaceshuttle (JSC) with Spacelab aboard. All forms of symbiotic human-machine operation (astronauts/space robots) demonstrated in space from teleoperation to fully autonomous robotic operation achieved by innovative feedback control based on multisensory processing including real-time stereo vision • Developed AI for VLSI tool (KIT) and used it to design ASIC based custom multiprocessors & RTOS (Siemens AG)
Originating expert of the first ESA‘s Mars mission (ESTEC) • Led DoD classified avionics program (Lockheed, SAIC)
