About the author
Dr. William Wolfgang Arrasmith is currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Systems Engineering at FIT. He has 20 years of experience with government research and development programs and has had extensive exposure to electröoptical, infrared, and laser detection systems. Before his position at Florida Tech, Dr. Arrasmith served as program manager of Physics and Electronics at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) in Washington, DC. In 1997, he moved to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland to teach courses in Engineering and Linear Adaptive Optics. He was then reassigned to the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) at Patrick Air Force Base where he became chief of the Systems and Technology Division. He was later appointed division chief for the Advanced Science and Technology Division of the AFTAC and remained in the position until joining Florida Tech in 2003.
