Dr. Wenstrand joined Hewlett-Packard, later Agilent Technologies, in 1991 as a member of the technical staff in the ULSI Research Laboratory concerned with the problem of achieving manufacturing efficiencies in a silicon process research fab. He managed the team responsible for the manufacturing and engineering information systems as well as logistics policies, culminating in publication of innovative manufacturing policies and the achievement of world-class cycle-times in a research fab. He then led a project team and later the section for the LaserJet ASIC business, building a capable IC design team, doubling revenues to more than $100M, and winning customer loyalty by developing excellent project management practices. More recently, Dr. Wenstrand managed the global R&D team and a $20M R&D budget for Agilent's Sensor Solutions Division, developing the initial camera module products contributing to the fastest growing business in Agilent. He is now Chief Technologist at Agilent/SSD with responsibility for new technology, new business, and IP, where he recently sponsored a program which led to the shortest time to high-volume manufacture of a new technology product in the history of Agilent Labs, the recently introduced laser-based optical mouse. Concurrently, Dr. Wenstrand is Consulting Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford. His research interests include sensor networks and extraction of useful information from the output of CMOS image sensors. Dr. Wenstrand holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in E.E. from Stanford University and M.B.A. and B.S.E. degrees from the University of Michigan . |
