About The Speaker
James (Jamie) Wiczer earned his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in W. Lafayette, IN in 1972 and 4 years later his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, IL.
Jamie followed his PhD work with an 18-year tenure at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque, NM as a staff member, division supervisor and department manager. After his work at Sandia Labs, Wiczer focused his efforts on developing and promoting the practical applications of networked, smart sensor technologies in order to make manufacturing and other industrial operations more cost effective and globally competitive.
In 1999, he founded, and currently serves as president of Sensor Synergy, a US-based developer of Internet-based, industrial monitoring solutions for improved energy efficiency and productivity. Wiczer has published over 80 articles on his research and development work, has been awarded seven patents on sensors and sensor interfaces and was awarded the prestigious American Foundry Society “Applied Research Award” for his efforts to reduce energy consumption in metalcasting foundries.
He is a member of the IEEE, American Foundry Society, Tau Beta Pi, HKN and other professional organizations. Jamie provides lectures to local high schools and junior high schools about engineering career opportunities. Wiczer also has served in various capacities to support the Illinois Junior Academy of Sciences and their annual science fair programs.
