Dr. Harry G. Kwatny is Executive Vice President, principal shareholder, and member of the board of directors of TSi. He is an expert on structural mechanical modeling, nonlinear dynamics, and control systems. He has extensive experience in design of feedback controllers for large-scale systems from the electric power industry. He has developed important modeling and control techniques for electric power systems, particularly for power plant control systems. His work in this area established standard models for the field. He has also developed a modeling methodology for nonlinear, hybrid structural mechanical systems including both flexible and discrete rigid bodies. Dr. Kwatny is a Fellow of the IEEE and S. Herbert Raynes Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

Mr. Christopher J. LaVigna is the President of TSi. During his career at TSi he has managed and directed the development of numerous advanced technologies. Some of these include smart materials technologies such as optical fiber strain sensors and their application to structural monitoring and control, innovative weapon pointing and stabilization systems, acoustic sniper detection and rapid weapon cueing systems, and small arms stabilization technologies. Mr. LaVigna has obtained two U.S. patents for his work in optical fiber sensors and gun system technology: No. 5,631,437 entitled “Gun Muzzle Control System Using Barrel Mounted Actuator Assembly” and No. 5,825,948 entitled “Fiber Optic Sensor for Spatially Separated Elements in a System.”

Ms. Amy Pfirrmann Hizoune, TSi Vice President of Finance, Ms. Hizoune has more than 15 years of experience functioning as general business manager of Techno-Sciences, Inc. She has extensive experience in all financial matters including: accounting, contract administration (US and Foreign Government), business development, export administration, personnel, industrial security, and quality management.

Mr. Jeff Khorrami, TSi Vice-President for SARSAT Programs, has over 20 years of experience in the design, development, and implementation of COSPAS-SARSAT Local User Terminals (LUTs). He is responsible for the entire TSi SARSAT operation at TSi. He is one of the original developers of the original processing algorithms commonly used in LUTs today. Among his other accomplishments, Mr. Khorrami designed, developed, and implemented a database system for the NASA SARSAT program. This database can store the data received from the US LUTs. It includes application programs to generate statistical and error analyses, status and performance reports, and location searches. He is currently working on the next-generation SARSAT GEO and LEO LUTs, and managing TSi's worldwide customer base.

Dr. Carole Teolis, TSi Vice-President of Systems Engineering, is an expert in signal processing for equipment health monitoring and control systems design. Dr. Teolis is the Principal Investigator on three National Science Foundation (NSF) Phase II and an MDA Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) awards and for the development of integrated diagnostics and control systems. She also managed the development of the Trident shipboard monitoring system and remote communications system and has just completed a phase I SBIR on the development of a system for facilitating local and global covert communication with SOCOM combat craft. Her other work at TSi has included management of the installation of a SCADA system designed by TSi for the US Mint production facilities in Philadelphia and Denver, designing nonlinear adaptive controllers for systems with discontinuous nonlinearities such as backlash and friction, design and implementation of an air-knife pressure control system for Bethlehem Steel Corporation's steel galvanizing line. Dr. Teolis received her Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland in 1994.

Dr. Peter C. Chen, TSi Vice President of Aerospace Engineering at Techno-Sciences, Inc., received his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park . Over the past 14 years, Dr. Chen's responsibilities have included technology development, establishing strategic alliances, marketing, business development, and product commercialization with strategic partners. He has directed myriad Department of Defense, commercial and industrial technology programs. Dr. Chen's areas of expertise include aerospace structures, adaptive materials, smart systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, structural health monitoring, optical fiber sensors, and systems integration. Dr. Chen holds five United States and International patents on advanced technologies developed for active vibration control, weapons stabilization, optical sensor systems, and health monitoring applications.

Mr. Carl Frank, Director of Business Development, is responsible for developing business opportunities in the U.S. Government, US industry, and worldwide for existing TSi products and services and for the development of new TSI products and services and management of these opportunities from initial contact through contract completion and continued support. He is also the Project Manager responsible for all aspects of Integrated Maritime Surveillance System program management including development of program plans and schedules, definition and allocation of resources, coordination and tracking of program progress/tasks, development of plans and strategies for successful completion of in-country efforts for foreign program activities, and budget and financial tracking. Before joining TSi, Mr. Frank retired from the United States Coast Guard as a Commander. His service in the Coast Guard included being the Project Manager for Systems Engineering and Integration for the Coast Guard’s Deepwater Program. Operational tours of duty included 7 years at sea aboard Medium Endurance Cutters and previous staff assignments included Naval Engineering Support at Maintenance and Logistics Command Atlantic and Systems Engineer for the Coastal Patrol Boat Acquisition Project. He has Master of Science degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and the Management of Technology.
