Profile Summary

Thomas J. Meitzler received his B.S. and M.S. in Physics from Eastern Michigan University, completed graduate coursework at the Univ. of Michigan, and received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Wayne State University in Detroit. He has taught Physics, Astronomy and Engineering courses at The University of Michigan-Dearborn and Henry Ford Community College. From 1988 to present he has been a research engineer at the U.S. Army RDECOM TARDEC in Warren in the department of Survivability. Dr. Meitzler is currently developing and integrating technologies for embedded armor health monitoring and advanced non destructive evaluation. He has published papers on infrared and visual detection, fuzzy logic, non destructive evaluation of armor, and spintronics. Dr. Meitzler is a winner of the 1995 and 2010 U.S. Army Research and Development Achievement award, several Army research grants, and has several patents. His research interests include sensor and image fusion, ultrasound, mmwave, and x-ray non-destructive testing and evaluation of composite materials, multi-functional-sensor enhanced armor, and functional magnetic resonance for traumatic brain injury assessment. Dr. Meitzler recently proposed a method for embedded armor plate health assessment that involves piezoelectric transducers and has built a sensor enhanced armor laboratory around that idea. American Physical Society Fellow and SPIE/IEEE Senior Member
