Advisory Board - EDX Wireless

Harry R. Anderson, Ph.D., P.E.	Founded EDX Engineering, Inc., in 1985, to produce software for the design and planning of wireless communications networks. Through EDX, he pioneered the use of ray-tracing radio propagation models for broadband wireless systems design. He sold EDX Engineering in 2000, and was instrumental in reacquiring its assets through EDX Wireless LLC in 2004. Dr. Anderson formed PHYwave, Inc. in 2000, to pursue a variety of technology-related activities, and continues that endeavor. Prior to EDX Engineering, Dr. Anderson performed a variety of consulting and research activities through H.R. Anderson and Associates, including the development of advanced physical propagation models for VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies. Dr. Anderson began his career in 1972 with Hammett & Edison, Inc., and then with Harris Corporation. His activities with both organizations encompassed the planning of radio systems, characterization of radio-wave propagation, and the development and automation of propagation prediction and engineering studies. Author of more than 40 papers published in IEEE Transactions and other journals, Dr. Anderson has twice won IEEE Transactions’ Best Paper of the Year Award. He is the author of the reference text Fixed Broadband Wireless System Design published by John Wiley & Sons in 2003. Dr. Anderson was awarded the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Bristol, U.K., received the M.S.E.E. degree from Oregon State University, and the B.S.E.E. from the University of California. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in California and Oregon. Dr. Anderson remains a member of the Advisory Board, and is an investor in EDX Wireless LLC.
Scott A. Blumberg, Ph.D.	Serves in the role of Executive Director of Software Development, and is responsible for all aspects of software architecture and programming. Dr. Blumberg retains special skills in numerical methods and graphics programming. Dr. Blumberg, who joined EDX in 1998, has held a variety of research and software development positions since 1973, including roles at Hewlett Packard, Stanford Research Institute, Perkin Elmer, Signetics, and Fairchild Semiconductor. Prior to EDX, he worked in Symantec’s project management organization. Dr. Blumberg’s research led to his developing new computational methods for solving quantum mechanical problems in amorphous solids, and solutions to Schrödinger’s equation employing supercomputers using sparse matrix methods, Gaussian quadrature, and orthogonal polynomials. He attended Cambridge University as a visiting scholar, and was conferred a Battelle Energy Research Fellowship. Dr. Blumberg was awarded the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Oregon, and earned the B.A. in physics at Harvard College. Dr. Blumberg is a member of the Advisory Board, and an investor in EDX Wireless LLC.
Jennifer S. Duncan	Joined EDX in 1995. Ms. Duncan serves as Executive Director of Business Development and Strategy. She contributes a keen sense of strategy and intuition that is marked by consistent and measurable success for EDX. Prior to EDX, Ms. Duncan contributed her expertise in a variety of advisory, analytic and financial roles at Oregon Public Employees Retirement System, American Express Financial Services, and Bank of Honolulu. Ms. Duncan achieved the B.S. degree in financial planning and counseling at Purdue University. She is a member of the Advisory Board, an investor in EDX Wireless LLC, and an active member of the Eugene Oregon Chamber of Commerce.
Ted G. Hicks	Vice President of Product Management and Support, is responsible for setting the direction of, and creating specifications for all EDX products. Joining EDX in 1996, his forty years of radio communications experience provides a strong foundational set of skills and insight. He is widely recognized as a key knowledge-holder in wireless system planning and design. Mr. Hicks began his career with EDX in 1996, and has been involved in all aspects of technical support, development, training and testing. Prior to EDX, Mr. Hicks provided engineering services and support throughout the Broadcast industry as a consultant for Ridgeline Wireless Technologies. He began his career as a Broadcast Engineer, and has served as Director of Engineering for radio stations across the western United States. Mr. Hicks earned the B.S. degree in speech and physics from the University of Oregon. He is a member of the Advisory Board, and an investor in EDX Wireless LLC.
