AWE Technologies, USA
Mr. Sinha recently retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico after 38 years as a physicist and a laboratory Fellow. My goal is to adapt the technologies I developed over the years for the US government for applications related to health care, threat reduction, and various industrial needs. I have a very wide range of interests and backgrounds that help me solve difficult technical problems in many fields. I started my career as a postdoctoral fellow in the field of low-temperature physics. In 1983, I moved to the Rockwell International Corporation in California where, as a senior scientist, where I developed 2D infrared detector arrays for space applications. I returned to LANL in 1986 as a staff scientist and developed ultra-high-speed measurement techniques, femtosecond lasers, thermionic integrated circuits, and sensors based on Langmuir-Blodgett films. Next, I switched my research career and taught myself acoustics. I ended up developing the Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy and the Swept Frequency Acoustic Interferometry techniques specifically to solve some challenging technical problems. These techniques served as the foundation for the development of sensors that range from detecting biological and chemical warfare agents to sensors for oil exploration. My recent research involved imaging objects with sound, developing noninvasive measurement techniques, manipulation of particles with sound including both concentration and separation, creating novel materials using sound, and nonlinear acoustics. Developing new sensing techniques and sensors for human health monitoring and medical diagnosis with emphasis on imaging that is simple and inexpensive is something that I am really passionate about.
