Joseph M. Colarusso. B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
Joe is a mechanical engineer with over 40 years of experience in solving complex heat transfer problems. His accomplishments include applying his knowledge and expertise to:
· Thermal architecture of the HES instrument for GOES R satellite. This included generation of integrated numerical models to evaluate HES thermal and thermo-optical performance under geo-synchronous orbit environment.
· Thermal control sub-systems for optics, dewars, and focal plane assemblies, using active cryogenic coolers and passive thermal radiators.
· Thermal analysis and design of electronic cooling systems using advanced thermal management techniques to handle high flux density of dies. These techniques included thermoloop heat-pipe technology, as well as single phase liquid cooled micro-channel heat-exchangers attached directly to the dies.Â
· Complex thermal analytic models of high-energy laser systems that are cryogenically cooled with saturated liquid nitrogen and use advanced heat-spreader technologies
· Complex thermal-mechanical and thermo-fluid systems for cooling high-power radar and communication systems.
· Thermal management of liquid crystal display systems (LCDs).
Joeâs experience includes teaching a heat transfer course for students in a BSMET program. He is familiar with numerous software applications including Thermal Desktop, Algor FEA software, ANSYS FEA software, SINDA thermal analysis software, macroFlow thermo-fluid software, and Coldplate.
James R. Qualey III. B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Physics
Jim is an hands-on electro-optical systems engineer and scientist with extensive experience in electro-optical systems, sensor research and development, spectroscopy, laboratory and field-based testing, data collection, data analysis, requirements analysis, new product development, technical communication, and program management. His professional activities include:
