KEY PERSONNEL, EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITIES

Novatron has assembled a highly experienced team of key personnel and consultants with expertise in the areas of physics, engineering, biological sciences, chemistry, marketing and business development. Its key personnel and consultants include seasoned, experienced executives and business people with many years of high technology development experience.

Novatron's President and CEO, Dr. Wayne Clark is a senior executive and scientist with extensive experience and a distinguished management record in high technology environments. He holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and studied business management at the University of California, San Diego, CA. He was a founder, President, Chief Operating Officer, and Member, Board of Directors of PurePulse Technologies, Inc., where he led the development of new sterilization and pasteurization technology using intense pulsed ultraviolet sources based on flashlamp technology. Dr. Clark has made significant technical contributions in the fields of electrical engineering and plasma physics. He has published more than 25 technical papers and is an inventor or co-inventor on 15 patents. He has extensive expertise in intense ultraviolet source technology and the use of UV technology for commercial, industrial, and defense applications.

In addition to founding PurePulse Technologies, Inc. and managing the company for nine years, Dr. Clark held a number of responsible positions at Maxwell Technologies, Inc. over a period of approximately 18 years. These included Vice President of Business Development, Maxwell Systems Division; Vice President, Maxwell Europe; Corporate Vice President, Maxwell; Vice President and General Manager, Lucidyne, Inc. (a subsidiary of Maxwell); Vice President of Engineering, Lucidyne, Inc.; Director, DoD Program Office at Maxwell; and Program Manager for major DoD Nuclear Weapons Effects programs at Maxwell. Prior to joining Maxwell, he worked at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in the Physics Division, and before that was a Research Scientist conducting research in plasma physics in a joint appointment at Cornell University and The University of Texas.

Dr. John Asmus, Novatron's Chief Scientist, is an internationally known physicist. He holds BS and MS degrees in engineering and a PhD in quantum physics from Cal Tech. In addition to having taught a wide variety of courses and leading research at the University of California, San Diego for 30 years, has held a number of important positions in industry and government. A few of the positions he has held include Vice president and Board Member at Science Applications, Inc.; Staff Member, Institute for Defense Analysis; Laser Department Manager, General Atomic; and Chief Scientist and Laser Department Manager, Maxwell Laboratories, Inc.

Dr. Asmus has published 120 papers. He has made numerous feature films and TV documentaries. He is co-inventor on 20 patents. He has provided expert witness testimony in 17 superior court cases. He has presented many invited lectures at universities and national laboratories. His numerous prizes, honors and commendations, include: Sigma Xi; Tau Beta Pi; Tektronix Fellow (Caltech); Schlumberger Fellow (Caltech); Institute Scholar (Caltech); Drake Scholar (Caltech); Graduation with Honors (Caltech); Winner, IBM Supercomputing Competition 1989 (IBM); Mellon Fellow, 1990 (Oberlin Coll.); Rolex Laureate for Enterprise, 1990 (Montres Rolex) and George Eastman Memorial Lecturer, 1994 (Optical Soc. of Am.)

Dr. Thomas Olson, Novatron's Chief Research Engineer, is a senior scientist with a broad background in leading edge engineering of electrical systems for lasers, optics and other applications of high power pulsed electrical energy. He holds a BS degree in mechanical engineering and MS and PhD degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of California, Berkley. Among his many accomplishments, in the early part of his career, he discovered and was awarded a patent for the ArN laser at 337.7 nm.

Dr. Olson has broad experience in the development of a wide variety of technologies. He has been involved, for example, in the development of: a portable CCD based X-ray imaging system to inspect unattended packages; micro-thermoelectric modules for low power generation; technology for using body heat to power devices such as watches, thereby eliminating batteries (patent awarded); a discharge lamp to replace halogen lamps for efficient, high brightness projectors; CZT for applications as a high resolution, room temperature radiation detector; large area (15 cm x 100 cm), high voltage (300 to 500 kV) electron beam systems with current densities of 1 to 10 A/cm2 (currents up to 15 kA) and pulse durations of 10 to 1 µsec; high energy, pulsed CO2 lasers (10 ?m) configured as power amplifiers or as gain switched, unstable resonators; EMRLD e-beam pumped eximer laser, wavelength shifted to the blue-green for submarine communications; a KrF laser transmitter and a heterodyne receiver for space based laser radar short wavelength imaging of space objects; and a 75 Tesla pulsed magnetic field device used to create high velocity impact welds between similar and dissimilar metals.
