... He is also the founder and CEO of Pranalytica, Inc., a Santa Monica, California based company that carries out R&D and manufacturing and sells trace gas sensors for in situ detection of chemical warfare agents and explosives, systems for standoff detection of explosives (IEDs) , and high-power mid-wave infared and long-wave infrared quantum cascade lasers for applications in defense, homeland security, and commercial systems.
From page 162...
... David Shaver is head of the Solid State Division at MIT Lincoln Laboratory where he oversees research in such varied areas as high-performance imaging sensors, deeply scaled silicon microelectronics, solid-state lasers, optoelectronics, photonics, superconductive devices, quantum computing, and biological agent sensors. His current personal technical interests have included development of photon count ing sensors and three-dimensional integrated imagers, and technology related to trusted electronics.
