This wasn’t always easy, especially as a junior faculty member, but with a lot of determination and effort in the beginning, his research has now been used in setting industry standards, and he also holds 21 US patents and several others that are pending, all while teaching, researching, and mentoring students and faculty alike.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
