    • Jan 2015 - Jan 2020

    After retiring from AT&T Labs Research in 2013, and running a wireless technology consultancy, I returned to AT&T Middletown New Jersey Labs in early 2015 as a Technology Realization Consultant, through the Kohl Group. Over those two years I participated as a committee member studying Solar CME and man-made EMP effects on Telco Networks, and continue to work full time on a secret project that began to be publically discussed only late in 2017. The project will likely have a dramatic influence on the direction of broadband 5G mobility and edge transport. The project has generated significant IP in which I continue to participate. The technology realization aspects of this project have, once again, immersed me in a new generation of advanced CAD, augmented reality/visualization, animation and rapid prototyping tools that allow phenomenal improvements in creativeness, invention, design cycles and schedules once unimaginable. Though not an employee of AT&T, I manage an industrial / physical design and rapid prototyping activity within this research community. I regularly represent this advanced project technology to both internal AT&T organizations and external AT&T customers. My career path, since the 1970’s, that has taken me from Drafting, to Industrial Design, to Product/Project Engineering, to SME research roles in both advanced THz and wireless laser communications (FSOC), to my current applied research activities at Middletown New Jersey. Over 29+ years at AT&T, and now well beyond, I had to reinvent myself to a rapidly evolving company culture, direction and ongoing technology disruption. My research years demanded I be self-directed, motivated and ready to meet changing technical challenges. My leading-edge work, public leadership and an advocacy role in both FSOC and the emerging THz industry honed my presentation skills, and proved vital for my new role at AT&T. In my career at the Labs I received over twenty-eight patents, now more are in the pipeline.
