Key
Achievements and Responsibilities Optics
Laboratory : Setting up of a complete Optics
Laboratory for holography and interferometry research and
experiments. Flexible Industrial Inspection : Project Leader
of the Flexible Industrial Inspection and Machine Vision
Systems activities. Design and realization of electro-optical systems :
TV-holography prototype for deformation
measurements (nondestructive testing, design evaluation
and optimization) and vibration analysis (noise reduction)
of industrial components. Optical Moiré Comparator for 3-dimensional shape
measurements (tolerance monitoring of industrial
components), with real-time image acquisition, video
processing and analysis on VAX 11/780. Machine Vision Systems (precise automatic water level
control, bolt inspection,...). Expert System : Prototype Expert System on an
IBM AT for the control of sensors in the test and
inspection of a flexible assembly system for air motors,
studied at IVF/KTH in Stockholm. Industrial Software : Development of an
application-specific software for the TV Holography
industrial system, including functional control,
management and processing of interferogram images, and
subsequent quantitative interpretation. About 20
commercial systems installed in Europe, Japan and South
East Asia. Installation and support of PC systems : Installation
of IBM compatible PC systems, with MS DOS and MS Windows
operating systems with several different software
packages : Utilities, office applications, DTP, graphical,
image processing, networking, software development,
connection to Internet, development of Internet Web sites,
using many of the available tools for the achievements of
these projects. Development and realization of Internet
applications : Web sites, e-shop and database
applications. Technical papers in a dedicated Web-related
magazine. |

Professional
Experience Previously involved in several fields
of Optics and Optical Metrology (High-Speed
Photography, Holography, Interferometry, Electronic
Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI), Moiré and Image
Processing). Then the main activities shifted towards Electro-Optical
Industrial Inspection, Machine Vision and Automatic
Inspection, for their integration into Flexible
Manufacturing Systems. Strong interests in the
application of Artificial Intelligence techniques
to industrial problems, and in expert systems for
diagnosis and for the sensory control of integrated
inspection stations. Then Product Manager, for the International
Promotion and Marketing (including organization,
sales strategy and analysis, technical support, training,
consulting, and development) of a metrological video
system for vibration and deformation analysis,
based on TV holography interferometry. The scope of the
project was developed in the European, Asian and Japanese
countries. The main efforts were devoted to the
international coordination and to the technical and
formative aspects of that promotion. Many years of experience in software development
on system control, video, image processing and
interpretation realized on an IBM PC compatible
workstation. Creation of an independent firm, OptWare CH, Lausanne
in May 1989, for consulting and realization in the
domains of optics and related electronic data processing
within industrial projects. Main activities include the
promotion, marketing and support of the RAS software
package throughout the world. Field service
with installation of RETRA holographic video cameras and
RAS, as well as training on related subjects (optical
metrology, holography, lasers, image processing, etc...). Consulting to industrial customers on specific
optical metrology applications. Installation and support
of PC systems with MS Windows environment and application
software packages. Development and installation of Web
sites and Internet applications. Strong and continuous experience in project leading,
group training and technical writing. |
