Dr. Mehra founded Scientific Systems in 1976 and is responsible for overall technical and financial management of R&D projects, and supervision of a professional staff of engineers and scientists. He has participated in the development of innovative applications of autonomy and intelligent control for aerospace and defense systems; image and signal processing for target detection and recognition; multisensory multitarget tracking; Kalman Filtering and Nonlinear Filtering; Battlemanagement, Wargaming and Mission Planning. He is responsible for getting the company into new fields such as Robotics, UAV’s UUV’s, Networking, Formation Flying, Fault-Tolerant Control, Multi-Spacecraft Autonomy & Control, Information Assurance, Network Centric Warfare, nonlinear optimization of flight vehicles, missile guidance and control, and electric power systems. He has published over 300 papers and edited a book on System Identification. Dr. Mehra was an Associate Professor of Engineering and Applied Mathematics from 1972-1976. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1968. His professional awards include: Fellow IEEE (1986), Eckman Award (1971), IEEE T-AC Best Paper (1971) and Automatica Best Paper (1982).

Mr. Mehra is principally responsible for leading the transition of SSCI’s technology development programs into fielded products. In this capacity, he interacts very closely with the Acquisition and Product Development community as well as key industrial partners. Mr. Mehra led the commercialization of both the CMARS and ImageNav products and has been instrumental in securing Phase III funding. Prior to SSCI, he was Vice President of Strategy and Market Development at Equitant Inc. (ACQ: IBM), a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) provider. At the time of its acquisition by IBM, Equitant managed over $50 billion of revenue on behalf of market leaders such as Microsoft, Cisco, Lucent, Hewlett Packard, Visteon, and Dun & Bradstreet with sites in Europe, India, and the U.S. At Equitant, Mr. Mehra was responsible for Global Market Development and Strategy and played a key role in increasing Equitant’s revenues by 80% in the 18 months prior to the IBM transaction. Mr. Mehra was formerly a strategy consultant with McKinsey & Company in New York. He holds a B.S. (Honors with Distinction) in Operations Research with Minors in Economics and International Affairs from Columbia University.

Mr. Moeller joined SSCI in 2008 and has responsibility for the Maritime Systems business area. Mr. Moeller brings 13 years of business development, engineering and entrepreneurial experience to SSCI. Prior to SSCI, he was a co-founder of QD Vision, an M.I.T. spin-off backed by Highland Capital Partners, Northbridge Venture Partners and In-Q-Tel (the CIA’s venture arm). Earlier in his career, Mr. Moeller played a key role in the success of Bluefin Robotics Corporation (ACQ: Battelle), achieving 40%+ CAGR for two consecutive years and instrumenting the transition of the Navy’s BPAUV program from ONR to NAVSEA. Mr. Moeller has consulted to organizations such as Boeing, Foster-Miller, NASA and Eastman Chemical on issues of strategy, revenue generation, and innovation. Mr. Moeller earned an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management (Heller Grant), and an M.S. and B.S. in Engineering from Virginia Tech (NSF Scholarship) and WPI (Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma), respectively. He is a board member of Highland Instruments, a medical device company pursuing a new form of non-invasive neurostimulation, and a named inventor on five patent-pending technologies in the areas of electronics and nanomaterials.

Dr. Seereeram oversees systems development, engineering, integration and test of advanced systems at SSCI. His expertise in Systems, Software Engineering, and Advanced Research & Technology Development helps the SSCI team bridge the gap from research program to fielded products. He has led DARPA, NASA, AFRL and NAVAIR-funded efforts to develop software for onboard autonomy, image-based navigation, autonomous rendezvous and control for maritime, air and space vehicles. Dr. Seereeram has served on Government and Industry Panels to develop technology roadmaps for space-based autonomy and verification and validation of advanced flight control systems. He has supervised and performed research and technology development in Autonomous and Intelligent Systems, Advanced Controls and Estimation, and Information Technologies, with applications in Unmanned Vehicles, Mission Planning, Autonomous Space Systems, Robotics, Aerospace Controls, and Enterprise Decision Support systems. Dr. Seereeram holds a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (Brown University) and a Ph.D. in Computer & Systems Engineering (RPI).

Dr. Yu has been with SSCI since 1996, and currently manages the technology-focused teams within the R&D organization. He was principally responsible for the success of the Mine Detection/Recognition system as well as the RF Transmitter Localization product line. As principal investigator on a number of SSCI’s most successful programs, Dr. Yu’s expertise in sensors, control systems, and pattern recognition provides strong technical leadership for SSCI’s researchers. Dr. Yu holds a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT.
