Key Personnel

SensorMetrix personnel brings a variety of backgrounds and exceptional expertise to provide the core competencies necessary for the needs of our customers.
​
Dr. Anthony F. Starr - Founder, President & CEO 
Dr. Starr founded SensorMetrix in 2003.  SensorMetrix seeks to develop EM-related materials and technology for governmental and defense clients.  Prior to SensorMetrix, Dr. Starr had been actively involved in commercializing advanced sensing and electromagnetic related technologies in diverse industries such as superconducting electronics, biotechnology, and structural sensing.  With the emergence of metamaterials near the start of the new millennium, Dr. Starr joined the effort to understand and expand their technical roles in next generation technologies.  He contributed to the first experimental demonstration of an electromagnetic cloak and the first IR perfect absorber, and he has spearheaded efforts to develop structural metamaterials and applications.  Dr. Anthony Starr received his Bachelor’s in Physics from Cornell University and his Masters/PhD from UC San Diego.

Dr. Tatiana Starr - Vice President

Dr. Starr is a co-founder of SensorMetrix. Her technology background includes development of infrared metamaterials and custom systems for thermal, electromagnetic and magnetic sensing applications. 
She contributed to the first experimental demonstration of an IR metamaterial perfect absorber and development of large area IR metamaterial films. Dr. Starr was a lead researcher to develop IR directive emission devices. She is currently involved in the development of IR selective emitters for a range of applications. Prior to SensorMetrix Dr. Starr was a VP at Tristan Technologies developing cryogenic magnetic sensing systems for biomedical, NDE and UXO detection.  Dr. Starr received her BS and Ph.D. degrees from Voronezh Polytechnic Institute and completed a post-graduate research fellowship at UC San Diego.

Dr. Qi Wu - Director of RF Applications

Dr. Qi Wu joined SensorMetrix as a senior scientist in 2012, where he has directed electromagnetic solution development for RF systems. Dr. Wu brings over 8 years of research experience in the area of EM metamaterials for microwave and optical devices, together with his capabilities in design and optimization of customized EM materials, modeling and numerical simulations, as well as analysis and characterization of antennas. By leveraging his metamaterial design and simulation expertise, he has contributed to several R&D efforts including three SBIR programs. Prior to SensorMetrix, Dr. Wu was a research associate at the Pennsylvania State University with Prof. Doug Werner’s research group, where he has developed metamaterial technologies to enhance RF and optical device performance, such as horn antennas for satellites and integrated optical components for photonic circuits. Dr. Wu received his Bachelor degree from Peking University, and his Master’s and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Colorado at Boulder.
