Dr. Val DiEuliis - Electronics Consultants

I am an electrical engineer with over 40 years of experience in the electronics industry. As an independent consultant since 1984, I have served a diverse clientele having equally diverse needs. I have worked for large corporations, small companies, startup companies, and individual entrepreneurs. I have managed projects, studied product and system feasibility, assessed technology, advised executive management, mentored young engineers, and provided litigation support to attorneys and their clients. I have developed products, systems, and devices for industrial, consumer, commercial, military, and medical applications. I have performed research and development in corporate and academic laboratories, and worked with testing, sustaining engineering, and manufacturing organizations. I have also taught graduate and undergraduate courses in electronics, computer networks, and control theory.

I have developed analog circuits, digital circuits, and electronic microcontroller-based devices for a variety of applications, including light detection, sensing industrial valve position using magneto-resistive devices, diagnosing under-the-hood automotive sensors, detecting phosphorescence, measuring the height of river water, charging batteries for an orthopedic tool, and testing furnace igniters. I've designed servo systems, data detectors, signal processors, and test systems for magnetic disk and CD, DVD, Magneto-Optical (MO), and WORM optical disc technologies, and I've designed computer peripheral devices for PC, EISA, VME, and proprietary data busses. I have evaluated product design and performance and have characterized electronic and electro-mechanical components for performance and failure.
