R&D contracts awarded to Mr. Markham have concentrated on methods and instrumentation for optical-based measurements of process emissions, radiative properties, and temperature. Successful programs with the U.S. Air Force and Army have resulted in the delivery of specialty infrared and laser/fiber optic instruments. These instruments solved special measurement needs for the Air Force and Army, and a patented technology delivered to the Air Force received a prestigious R&D 100 award from R&D Magazine in 1994. Mr. Markham has publications, two patents and two patents pending, and has given presentations to the DOD, DOE, EPA, NASA, industrial/government consortiums, and universities. He has also performed field tests at turbine engine test cells, black liquor recovery boilers, a glass kiln, a coal fired boiler, a chemical incinerator and several government labs and military bases.
