4D Technology Names James Millerd President

4D Technology Corp. cofounder James Millerd, PhD, has been named president of the company, a maker of optical metrology instruments for astronomy, aerospace, data storage, semiconductors and other industries, the Tucson, Ariz.-based company announced today. Millerd succeeds John Hayes, who is retiring. Hayes will remain on the board of Directors. ”James Millerd brings significant expertise in optical metrology and leadership to the role of president,” said James Wyant, chairman. “Dr. Millerd has been a key decision maker since 4D’s inception, as well as a driving force in the development and commercialization of vibration-insensitive interferometry.” Millard, who said 4D is developing new products of Irvine, Calif. He has also held leadership and engineering positions with MetroLaser Inc. and TRW’s Space and Technology Group. Millerd has published more than 30 publications and numerous patents and awards for his work in optical measurement and real-time interferometry. He received a BS in physics and electrical engineering from California State University, Chico (1987) and was his graduates degress in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California.

Glossary

astronomy: The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
metrology: Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
