Mark Brown's Problem Solving Experience:

1. I was part of a team that was working on wave energy conversion as a renewable energy source. The device we were developing was a direct drive rotary generator that floated on the ocean surface and converted swell and heave motions into electricity using a large generator mechanism. This energy was made usable with on-board power electronics and pushed to shore via submarine cable.
2. I was part of a small team that developed an underwater profiling mechanism capable of positioning itself in the water column by extending a piston which displaced more volume and thus more buoyant force which enabled the platform to ascend in the water column. This platform was used to carry a suite of instruments to various depths and take measurements for ocean science data.
3. i was part of a team that developed a water quality instrument capable of working underwater for months at a time. This instrument with six degrees of freedom in its internal mechanism is now in commercial production.
4. I was part of a team that developed a manipulator for positioning an underwater laser. The positioning mechanism was controlled via a remotely operated vehicle interface and was capable of incremental positioning of .004 of an inch with repeat ability of .040 of an inch. This robotic arm was remotely controlled and capable of operating in 4000 meters of water.
