ANDREW STOCKHAM
THE EARLY YEARS
• Grew up in Columbia, Maryland
COLLEGE
• Attended the University of Maryland, College Park
• Majored in electrical engineering
• Maintained a 3.5 GPA• Member of Tau Beta Pi
and Eta Kappa Nu• Received a B.S. in
December 2000
LOS ALAMOS
• Recorded, analyzed, and reported results of experiment on superconducting thin-films
• Operated Ti:Sapphire laser with regenerative amplifier and low-pressure cryostat chamber with liquid nitrogen cooling
MICRO OPTICS
New handheld version!
MEMS OPTICAL
• Designed photomasks for micro-optical components fabrication
• Instituted comprehensive logs tracking mask fabrication, cost, and performance
• Gained experienced in cleanroom operations
A fully processed wafer with microstructures. The wafer has dimensions of 100mm diameter by 1mm thick or more. However, the features are only a few microns deep and perhaps only
hundreds of microns wide.
LEAVING MEMS
• Independently established laboratory procedures for characterization of optical components
• Performed first-ever thermal testing of new etalon design in Zerodur
• Met my wife, Jessica, who’s pretty great
RETURNING HOME
• Added new design and analysis capabilities
• Developed a second source for grayscale photomasks
• Spearheaded development of CaF2 optics
• Worked my way up to become Product Development Manager
AEGIS TECHNOLOGIES
• Responsible for RASP, an $8M BAA, supervising a multi-disciplinary team of engineers
• Designed optics for scene projector
• Wrote null-biasing algorithm for PIC
• Had a baby
LIFE CAN BE TERRIFYING…
AND A LITTLE CONFUSING…
AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET HIT PRETTY HARD…
BUT IF YOU WATCH YOUR BACK…
AND STAY FOCUSED ON THE HORIZON…
YOU MIGHT JUST HIT A HOMERUN!
