M. S. (Physics) University of California, San Diego, (UCSD), 1979.
Ph.D. (Physics) University of California, San Diego, (UCSD), 1984.

Professional Experience

Project Management: Dr. Frasier has successfully managed scientific research and software development projects during his career.
• Principal Investigator for contract # DNA 001-92-C-0106, a Phase I SBIR through the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) from July 1992 through March 1993. Developed a method to generate correlated realizations of a scintillating propagation channel for multi-target simulations of radar performance. Was invited to submit a
Phase II Proposal by DSWA.

Propagation Modeling and Simulation: For nearly 19 years Dr. Frasier has applied his scientific and mathematical expertise to the modeling of propagation of electromagnetic waves through
random media. He has developed software to calculate channel effects resulting from propagation through a nuclear-enhanced ionosphere, and through airborne particles such as rain, hail, sand, and volcanic ash.

Object-Oriented Software Development: Since 1990 Dr. Frasier has developed software using object-oriented development techniques, principally in C++. He has developed and maintained reusable software libraries for scientific, engineering and other purposes, for Pacific Innovation
and its customers, and for his outside employer during this time.

Software Component Development: Dr. Frasier has developed reusable software components using Win32 DLLs, ActiveX, Borland Delphi/C++ Builder, and Java Beans.

Distributed/Network Software Development: Dr. Frasier has been the lead software designer and developer of the IFICS Communications Simulator and the ISTC/SATCOM Simulator. Both
of these software applications are network servers that participate in a distributed simulation of National Missile Defense performance. These applications were developed using C++, in combination with FORTRAN and x86 Assembly Language. They are multithreaded, network servers that have been designed to meet real-time performance standards. As part of these development efforts, Dr. Frasier designed the client/server messaging interface specifications and
developed the software necessary to implement these specifications as TCP/IP messaging APIs. The implementations were built on a common code base, compliable for Win32 and Unix.

Database Development: Dr. Frasier has developed both relational and hierarchical databases for characterizing signal propagation effects according to several independent variables, such as
frequency, magnetic field orientation, and propagation path geometry. These databases are used when runtime requirements preclude the use of the more detailed propagation codes.

Computer Language Experience: X86 Assembly Language, C, C#, C++, Fortran, Java, Object
Pascal, SQL, Visual Basic, XML.
