| Meet Our Team of Scientists | |
| Advanced Coherent Technologies, LLC (ACT) was formed in 2006 with the goal of building and demonstrating low-cost, multi-channel imaging systems. ACT has spent the last few years highly focused on generating a series of programs all associated with these systems. A phased implementation approach is used to create synergy among existing programs in order to provide superior products at lower cost. | |
| Jon Schoonmaker | |
| Founder and Principal Scientist Mr. Schoonmaker has worked in all aspects of multi- and hyper-spectral imaging systems including test planning, ground truth, system design and assembly, as well as performance evaluation. With 15 years of experience in government programs at SPAWAR, in addition to 6 years in private industry on acquisition programs such as COBRA and ASTAMIDS, Mr. Schoonmaker has a wealth of experience and expertise to draw upon. Mr. Schoonmaker holds a BS in Physics from University of Oregon, Eugene. |

| Gary Gilbert PhD | |
| Founder and Principal Scientist Dr. Gilbert has more than 44 years of experience in hydrological and ocean optics. He has worked on most of the Naval optical MCM and ASW programs in laser and passive optics over the last four decades. He was the ONR Ocean Optics program manager and has authored and co-authored more than 80 papers and reports in the field of military hydro-optics. Presently he is continuing work on the theory and use of underwater and maritime multispectral and polarized light in ASW and marine mammal detection. Dr. Gilbert’s broad and lengthy experience in the field of underwater optics has proven quite beneficial in arriving at optimal approaches while avoiding pitfalls that would beset the less experienced. Dr. Gilbert holds a Ph.D. in Applied Ocean Science from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, an MS in Engineering Science from University of California, Los Angeles, and a BA in Physics from University of California, Berkeley. |
