Consulting:
1.
On March 19, 2007, I did a site inspection in Kingston, PA, for Attorney Ciarimboli, 570-714-4878.The
inspection was videotaped by both Plaintiff (my client) and Defendant. My investigation showed a design flaw
in a Makita circular saw. The saw took too long to turn off, and hence it cut off my client‟s toe.
2.
On March 23, 2007, I did a site investigation in Bedford, NY for Attorney Green, 212 687 8181. A man was
found burned alive under a powerline on his estate. I put together a most probable scenario of what had
happened to cause the accident.
3.
On April 24, 2007, I advised Connecticut Analytical Corp. on the construction of an OLED sandwich to be
used in a portable photometer. OLED stands for organic LED.
4.
On April 26, 2007, I was asked to review the US patent “Residential Load Center with Arcing Fault
Protection”. The patent showed how a home computer can isolate an arc fault and shut down the guilty circuit
without effecting the other circuits in the hous.
5.
On May 21, 2007, I worked again on the forklift case. Investigation focused on the battery being over charged.
6.
On August 31, 2007, I worked on developing a patent for a portable device to monitor a person‟s vital signs
while they were working out at the gym. The patent was the brain child of a woman who works as a secretary
and who needed guidance in this arena.
7.
On August 31, 2007, I worked for Connecticut Analytical advising them on the development of a new type of
dish antenna: a 3 dimensional rather than 2 dimensional variety.
8.
On September 25, 2007, I advised a man struck by lightning as he passed a building. He claims that building
owner was liable because the building lacked lightning protection equipment. I found that under state law (CT)
this accident was considered an act of God. It was not something that one could sue for.
9.
On September 25, 2007, I advised attorney Attorney Solomon, of Ficke and Solomon, 622 Barlow Ave., Staten
Island, NY 10312. A resident of Brooklyn bought an electric space heater. He set it up upside down. It burned
the apartment building. It killed a young girl. I determined safety procedures that could have been used to
prevent this accident.
10. On October 8, 2007, I worked on a NASA grant for Connecticut Analytical Corp. Electro-propulsion rockets
are used for maneuvering the rocket and not for thrust. These can improve their ability to maneuver if one
introduces external magnets into the electric field.
11. On October 18, 2007, I worked in Henderson, Nevada for Cox Communications Inc., 702 433 9902. I talked to
their engineers about coding schemes for Fiber Optics data transmission, both past schemes and future
directions.
12. On October 22, 2007, I spoke with representatives of Atomic Energy Canada LTD. We discussed electric
machines used in the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel.
13. On October 31, 2007, I had a second job in the Bedford Electrocution. Atty. Green and his assistants and
associates had tried to find the legal documents necessary to prosecute the power company NYSEG. They
could not. After one week of work, I found the documents pertinent to this case, and I was able to interpret
same.
14. On November 9, 2007, I worked for Mr. Joe Bango of Connecticut Analytical. He need me to get supporting
documentation for his patent: "Optical antivirus firewall for Internet, LAN, and WAN computer applications".
This invention removes viruses by converting computer code from electrical bits to optical images and
reconverting said images back to electrical bits. If a virus is attached to a legitimate code, it is unable to
convert to an optical image.
15. On December 2, 2007, I was contacted by Dr. Ojalvo of Technology Associates about a case in Naples, Florida
where a car caught fire. We determined that the most likely cause was lightning. Hence there was no defendant
to be sued in this case.
16. On March 17, 2008, I concluded my investigation for Attorney Matthew Kelly 212 349 5150. Based on my
report, the case settled in favor of Atty. Kelly's client, the widow of a man electrocuted when his boss had him
put up a sign near a 13,000 volt power line. The voltage was strong enough to cause current to jump from the
line to the lift bucket where the man was working. This procedure was in clear violation of New York City
statutes, which governed the accident location (Staten Island).
17. On April 7, 2008, I was contacted by publisher John Wiley and Sons, 201 748 7739 to review the book
Biomedical Instrumentation: Application and Design, by Dr. John Webster.
18. On May 1, 2008, I was contacted by Pitney-Bowes, Shelton, CT 203 337 3268 to implement an RFID control
antenna.
19. On May 6, 2008, I worked again on the case of the circular saw. I completed my investigation and found that
the incident saw was much improved in power efficiency over prior models. However, there were no extra
safeguards built in to regulate the extra power.
20. On May 16, 2008, a devout Muslim (Mr. Mohammed Uddin) consulted me. He experience painful shocks
when he bent down to pray on his prayer rug. I found that there was an accumulation of "dirt" and body oil on
this most sacred rug, especially in the area where his forehead touched the rug. This was conductive and set up
a path to ground. I recommended that he either get a new prayer rug or worship on a floor that was not
conductive (best case - put a clean non-prayer rug under the orginal rug).
21. On August 15, 2008, I worked for Attorney Tim Salmon 212 318 6167. His client is Dr. Gertrude Rothschild.
She has 2 patents for Blue LED's (# 4,904,618 and # 5,252,499). I was charged with working on several patent
infringement cases.
22. On August 25, 2008, I worked for Dr. Ojalvo of Technology Associates for a case out of Naples Florida. An
electrician was 15 feet above a warehouse floor on a makeshift platform. He received a shock and fell to his
death. I determined that the shock was small and could only have produced minor injury. If he had been on a
safety ladder or scaffolding, then he would not have fallen. He would NOT have died. His injuries would be
trivial. The company was sued for un-safe practices.
23. On September 9, 2008, I worked Attorney Mitchell Studley, 718 658 3000. A woman was burned in an Astoria
Health Spa when she received electric shocks to various parts of her body to stimulate muscle massage. My
investigation determined that the Spa re-used the pads applied to her skin. This made them less sticky. The
contacts partially peeled off. This forced the electricity to travel through a smaller contact area, and this caused
3rd degree burns.
24. On October 27, 2008, I did an investigation on rocks and dust brought back from the moon. Under a NASA
grant, Connecticut Analytical is investigating the photoionization of Lunar Regolith. They asked for my
services to critique their experimental setup and to analyze their data.
25. On January 2, 2009, I did a job for Tech Associates. A garage door for a factory in Hartford, CT was being
raised. When it came to the top it kept trying to go higher. The door was NOT a modern door with sensors.
Hence the motor continued to drive the door up, even after it reached its maximum height. This caused a cable
to brake and a workman to be injured. We found this was caused by improper maintenance and upgrading of
the company hired to fix and monitor the door.
26. On January 23, 2009, I did a job for Tech Associates. They were investigating a man who claimed to be struck
by lightning while on a construction job in Hawaii. We found that the worker‟s injuries were extremely mild;
they could be explained by another un-related accident.
27. On February 16, 2009, I did a job for Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport, CT. A patient was anesthesized and
unconscious. He was to undergo surgery. He was producing a faint electric noise that interfered with the
electrical signals being produced by the machines that monitored his physical activity. A simple, immediate
cure for this problem was effected by having the patient‟s had taped to the metal post of the “bed” he was on.
This grounded all electric signals produced within his body. More complex and long term solutions were also
proposed.
28. On March 6, 2009, I was contacted to investigate an accident at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. A
patient had a bronchoscope inserted into their lungs via their mouth. The bronchoscope exploded while inside
the patient. Reasons for the accident were machine defects as well as the technician‟s lack of training.
29. On April 3, 2009 I did a workshop for high school and college teachers along with Dr. Buket Barkana. My role
was to discuss electric safety in the home. This workshop was part of the ASEE (American Society of
Engineering Education) Northeast conference.
30. Beginning on May 11, 2009 and continuing to the present. I have been a consultant for a new book to be
published on Digital Signal Processing or DSP. The authors are Vekatasubramanian Krishanmoorthy and Uma
Viswanathan. Publication is expected in 2010/2011.
31. On May 21, 2009, I was questioned by Attorney Mark Dumas, Crumbie Law Group LLC, 280 Trumbull Street,
21st floor, Hartford, CT 06103, 860 725 0025. He has a case involving a person accused of tapping in to the
power company‟s electric line for free electricity.

UNIVERSITY COMMITTEES AND OTHER EVENTS/ACTIVITIES:
Chair, PhD Program in Technology Management Committee (Spring 2008 – Present) – developing an
inter-disciplinary PhD degree spanning the Schools of Business and Engineering and focusing on a
balance of entrepreneurship/ corporate entrepreneurship/ technology new venture creation and
current/emerging technologies (e.g. IT; environment & energy technology; financial engineering;
manufacturing, supply chain and logistics technology and systems and bio-technology and bio-medical
engineering.
Winner of the CT Business Plan Competition – Advisor to Schools of Business and Engineering teams
that won first place in the Graduate New Venture Business Category. UB teams won in 4 out of the last
7 CT Business Plan competitions. The competition is open to all universities in the State of CT and is
sponsored by the State of CT Economic Development Department, the CT Venture Group and CT
Innovation Corporation.
Member, Committee that Developed New Concentrations for the MBA, MS and the new Dual Graduate
Business and Engineering Degree Programs – 2006 – 2007
Center for Interdisciplinary Business, Engineering and Technology Leadership (CIBETL) –
Transitioned the CBIT Board to the CIBETL Board, consisting of senior industry executives who
provide advise and counsel for select education programs and internship opportunities for UB
Engineering and Business students – 2003 – Present.
International Student Recruitment Pilot – Conceived of the idea to use current international students to
visit their home country universities and help identify future UB students. Worked with Admissions to
implement plan.
UB Accelerator/Incubator – UB was recently approached by Connecticut Innovation to assess our
interest in establishing a technology accelerator/incubator on the campus of UB. We are in the process
of conducting a high level feasibility study. There seems to be lots of interest in this idea at this time
from the SOB, SOE, City of Bridgeport and various economic development entities in the State of CT
and other Fairfield county towns.
IAMOT Accreditation of the MS in TM Degree Program – UB‟s MS in TM Degree program is one of
the first programs to become a candidate for accreditation by IAMOT (International Association of
Management of Technology). This will help to validate the UB program‟s peer review standing and add
a credential to help market both the MS and the potential PhD in TM program to a global audience.
