David Reid

David Reid, Ph.D., is a principal research engineer and head of the Electromagnetic Materials and Measurements Branch of GTRI’s Advanced Concepts Laboratory. His research interests include the electromagnetic characterization of materials and structures and the design of engineered materials. Dr. Reid has developed and delivered custom material characterization systems for labs throughout the country and designed validation and verification standards for the focused beam measurement system. He has worked to understand the mechanisms for uncertainty in existing measurement fixtures and develop techniques to reduce this uncertainty for various systems. He has also worked on the design of engineered materials and surfaces, using computational electromagnetics tools to tailor the material properties to meet desired specifications and accurately predict performance.  Dr. Reid teaches continuing education classes on electromagnetic materials and measurements.
