Michael Head
Precision Measurement Engineering
Michael will discuss and display a number of products developed by his company including a micro-conductivity sensor, a shallow water microprofiler for turbulence measurement (SCAMP), a temperature chain that supports temperature and other sensors (one of which is mounted out on the Scripps pier), a system for environmental measurements in lakes (LakeESP), and their latest still-in-development oxygen logger.
Michael received his Ph.D. in Applied Ocean Science from Scripps in 1982 and shortly thereafter founded Precision Measurement Engineering. It has grown from a two person operation located in a spare bedroom and garage in Encinitas to a 3000 sq feet facility in Vista employing seven people nearly 30 years later. At first PME sold the subject of his dissertation, a micro-conductivity sensor for use in density measurement of salt-stratified flows. Over the years they have gradually added more sensors and systems.
