He has an MS degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington and a doctorate degree in Applied Management and Decision Sciences from Walden University. He has authored over 40 articles and two books: Blueprint for a Crooked House (Mergers and Acquisitions--Business Analytics) and Building Survivable Systems (Systems Engineering) https://iloripressbooks.com/nonfiction/business/
Dr. Marcus Thint, VP Product Engineering, mthint@segma.com
Dr. Thint has over 20 years of industrial and research experience in AI technologies, product engineering and deployment (software and hardware) with recent focus on personal digital assistants and automated question answering systems. In the early 1990's, Dr. Thint co-founded Intelligent Machines Inc., designing a graphical software environment for design, simulation, and deployment of diagnosis, control, and pattern recognition applications based on neural networks and fuzzy logic technologies. At IMI, he was also awarded R&D contracts from the National Science Foundation, and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit District), which he successfully delivered as Principal Investigator. In 1995, Dr. Thint returned to BART, where he completed research on neural-network based diagnostic systems, and on-board health monitoring of train control electronics as part of DARPA's dual-use technology initiative for AATC (Advanced Automatic Train Control) program. In 1997, he joined the Intelligent Systems Research Center of British Telecom, and has been one of the developers of the intelligent Personal Agent Framework (iPAF) system for personalized information retrieval including Radar, an agent that offers just-in-time user interest and activity information; Bugle, a personalized newspaper service; and Grapevine, expertise locator based on personal profiles. Dr. Thint serves as a co-developer of the text analyzer and approximate reasoning engine modules of Kaelo. Dr. Thint earned a Ph.D. degree in 1991 and MS (1984), in Electrical Engineering from Duke University, Durham, NC. (Specialty in Machine Intelligence and Robotics). Mr. George Meekins, VP System Architect and Business Development, gmeekins@segma.com Mr. Meekins is a Software Architect, Research Scientist and business development expert. He holds an MS Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University, and has expertise in systems architecture and design on global IT and communications products.
