Detecting Hidden Objects Through Barriers
Speaker: Joseph Callerame, PhD
About the Speaker:
Joseph Callerame, PhD
Vice President, Technology, and Chief Technology Officer
American Science & Engineering, Inc.
Joseph Callerame joined American Science & Engineering, Inc. (AS&E) in June 1998 as Vice President, Technology, and Chief Technology Officer. AS&E develops and manufactures sophisticated transmission and backscatter X-ray inspection products for critical detection and security applications. AS&E’s unique backscatter X-ray imaging technology is able to inspect objects and vehicles even when only one side is accessible, in contrast to conventional transmission X-rays that require a detector on the opposite side of the scanned object. Primary uses of this technology include drug, trade fraud and explosives detection.
Prior to joining AS&E, Dr. Callerame spent over 20 years at Raytheon, most recently as Manager, Engineering and Technology Development. Prior to that appointment, Dr. Callerame was Deputy General Manager of Raytheon’s Corporate Research Division. While there, he was charged with overseeing development of a wide variety of research activities in areas as diverse as:
- Surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillators as ultra-stable frequency sources for advanced radars;
- Sonar transducers for ship and submarine detection, as well as medical ultrasound;
- High durability infrared materials and infrared detector arrays;
- Laser-based systems for both communication and target identification;
- High speed Gallium Arsenide-based circuitry for both microwave and millimeter wave applications.
Dr. Callerame received a B.A. in Physics from Columbia College in 1970, and an M.A. and Ph.D., also in Physics, from Harvard University, in 1971 and 1975, respectively. After receiving his Ph.D. and prior to his employment at Raytheon, Dr. Callerame served as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Nuclear Physics at M.I.T., where he worked on neutron interferometry.
