Dr. Olsen is president and CEO of SIMmersion. In the last year, his company has experienced rapid growth for many reasons, including the companies reputation as an outstanding provider of unique products. In addition, research by Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin has shown that SIMmersion simulations build skills that change behavior and people’s lives. Government sponsors include the FBI, U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Joint Forces Command, the intelligence community, and various institutes at the National Institutes of Health. Dale joined The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and was made responsible for developing techniques for evaluating submarine launched missiles. He developed a series of methodologies, implemented them in software, and successfully applied them. In 1989, he developed an algorithm for the automatic detection of epileptic seizures using EEG data. This research lead to the development of algorithms for evaluating polygraph data and to a software system called PolyScore™ for the analysis of that data. The resulting system proved more accurate than human evaluators and provides objective evaluation of polygraph charts. In 1997, Dr. Olsen recognized a critical need for human simulations and created training simulation for teaching interview techniques to FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The technology evolved into the PeopleSim® used by SIMmersion. He has numerous publications and years of experience as both a researcher and a manager. He also taught statistics for the Johns Hopkins University for 28 years. Show less
