Topic: Smart Sensors for Homeland Security Applications: One of the major tenets of Homeland Security is that multi-level monitoring is required along borders, at ports, within transportation systems, etc. A wide variety of smart sensors are needed to gather assorted threat data. Also, extensive computing capability is required to synthesize raw data into actionable information. After an overview of the current state of affairs, one specific smart sensor will be described and demonstrated.
Speaker: William Milam, P.E., SM-IEEE

William Milam earned his BSEE and MSEE from Clemson University. Upon graduation, he spent 10 years in Florida designing radiation hardened integrated circuits for Honeywell Space Systems. He then moved to Knoxville and worked on digital video projects for Philips Consumer Electronics. From there, he moved to a local startup, ASIC International and returned to designing integrated circuits. After ASIC International was acquired by Flextronics Semiconductor, there was a push to consolidate design centers. Not wanting to relocate, William and 3 other engineers started Telesensors, Inc. Telesensors designs small, wireless sensor solutions for the Homeland Security and Medical Research markets.
