Gary earned his B.A. in Physics at the University of California, Berkeley, California and his M.S and Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. He received a postdoctoral fellowship from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center to improve the detection efficiency of gamma rays in a nuclear imaging positron tomography camera for locating cancer tumors.
After joining Lockheed Missiles System Division in 1980, Gary headed the radiation effects analysis group. He joined Intel Corporation in 1984 to work as a device physicist on the modeling and CMOS process of nonvolatile memories, 64 kbit and 256 kbit electrically erasable PROMs. Shortly after 1986, he returned to Lockheed to support a number of Department of Defense programs. From 1987 to 1990 Gary headed a project to study the effects of neutral particle beams on electronics and the effect of the space environment on military systems. In 1988 he received the AIAA award for Best Design Engineer and in 1989 he was a finalist in the prestigious Lockheed Corporate Robert E. Gross technical achievement award.
Gary has published over 20 technical papers in two refereed journals, the IEEE Transactions of Nuclear Science and the Journal of Radiation Effects Engineering and Technology. He has served for NSREC and HEART Conferences in the capacity of Invited Short Course speaker, Best Paper Awards Chair, Session Chair for SEE, Devices and ICs, Local Arrangement Chair, Member at Large and Technical Program Chair. For over 15 years he has been invited to be a summary and final technical paper reviewer for both conferences.
