He has over 150 research publications, 26 patents, Editor-in-Chief for CRC Handbook of Photonics and was inducted in Kodak’s Inventors Gallery. He is a fellow of Optical Society. His research interest includes Photon Processing of Materials, photovoltaics, optical devices and sensors.

Mr. David Havrilla (Trumpf) “Design principles for laser welding” David has earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. His post graduate experience includes a one year assignment at Imperial College in England, investigating the viability of laser cladding die components. David has been involved with industrial lasers for over 28 years. He has worked as a Project

Manager of laser systems, a Senior Product Support Engineer and Product Manager for high power CO 2 and solid state lasers. David has been with TRUMPF for more than 10 years and in his current position, he is the Manager of the Products & Applications group.

Mr. Dennis Decker (Trumpf) “Advancements and trends in laser micro-processing” Dennis earned his diploma thesis in Physical Technology from the University of Muenster Germany. During his time at the University, he developed innovative new processes for welding plastic with high power diode lasers. Dennis has worked for TRUMPF for more than five years. He has experience with many different types of lasers including: low power

solid state marking lasers (TruMark), high power diode laser (TruDiode) for welding and brazing and ultra-fast short pulse lasers (TruMicro series). For the last three years, he has worked exclusively with nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond lasers to develop application models and laser parameter settings for different industries like aerospace, electronics, glass, semiconductor and automotive.

Paul Blomquist (Laser Consultant); “Fundamentals and latest applications of hybrid laser welding” Paul Blomquist has over 25 years experience in shipbuilding and heavy industry.
