Quang M Lam

36 years of experience in spacecraft and missile systems engineering and Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) technology areas, along with data fusion expertise dating back to the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) program. Possess a great track record of business development and technology innovations across all major engineering disciplines. Prior to joining JESPLSOFT, Quang held several key positions in aerospace Industry. Those include Chief Scientist at Leidos, Chief Technologist at Orbital/ATK, and Engineering Fellow at Raytheon Missile Systems. Quang holds a Ph.D. degree in EE from Columbus University, and MSEE, MSME, and BSME degrees from Drexel University. Quang has authored or co-authored over 50 technical publications in advanced filtering (EKF, MMAE, IMM, Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) Filters, Particle Filtering; etc), adaptive control (State Dependent Ricatti Equation (SDRE), Direct/Indirect, and Hybrid Based), and data fusion. Quang has worked on a variety of programs. Those include TOPEX (ACS), Orbview 3 (ACS); EO-1 (Attitude Determination System Design), Dawn (Instrument Alignment & Pointing); Special Space Program (Key ACS Lead defining the ADS filter from the get go at Swales Aerospace/ATK before handing it off to Orbital); SM-3/SM-6 (Advanced Guidance and Control); ERGM & XCalibur (GPS/INS); to name a few.Specialties: Adaptive G&C for a variety of platforms (air breathing hypersonic vehicle; spacecraft, missile, RLV, aircraft, etc); Modeling and Simulation (6DOF); Adaptive Filtering for target tracking (JPDA; Nearest Neighbor Filter (NNF), Random Finite Set/PHD Filter; etc) and navigation systems (Star Tracker/IRU Based; GPS/IMU Based; Terrain Based Navigation; etc); Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Technology; Orbit Determination; Intelligent Systems (Neural Network/Fuzzy Based Technologies); Data Fusion; Formation Flying; and network enabled weapons modeling and simulation.
