Edwin F. Johnson, PhD, Outside Advisor. Dr. Johnson is a consultant for various companies on thermal, mechanical and metallurgical problems and is pursuing the application of integral transforms to thermal analysis and potential theory. Mr. Johnson was a start-up employee at Endgate Corporation. While with Endgate, he invented flipchip assembly combined with coplanar waveguide and was awarded a number of patents related to this technology and developed flipchip assembly processes. He performed thermal, mechanical and metallurgical analyses in support of Endgate’s products. Mr. Johnson also helped to found Cougar Components Corp., a company that designs and manufactures RF and microwave cascadable amplifiers and subsystems for signal processing equipment operating in the 100 kHz to 20 GHz range, and served on its board of directors. At Cougar Components, he invented a display technology using ultrasonic lamb waves and fully developed the theory and assisted in setting up the assembly processes for this device. Mr. Johnson also co-authored a patent covering this display concept. He held a post-doctoral position in the electrical engineering department at Cornell University where he investigated the microwave and optical properties of gunn diodes and the growth of gallium arsenide. Mr. Johnson received a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics with a minor in mathematics from the University of Utah, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and a Doctorate degree in physics from Cornell University. |
