Dr. Dale Fried

Dr. Dale G. Fried is Founder and CEO of 3DEO®, Inc. Our vision is to bring the advanced capabilities of Geiger-mode lidar technology to bear on problems of interest to our commercial and government customers.  Previously, at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, he was co-program manager and technical lead for the Department of Defense-funded MACHETE lidar sensor, the world's most capable lidar system, which is now in daily operational use.  Earlier he was technical lead for the ALIRT Geiger-mode lidar, which mapped over 600,000 square kilometers at 1 m resolution for the DoD.  Prior to MIT Lincoln Lab, Dale was at Clarendon Photonics, an MIT venture-backed startup in the telecom sector.  Dr. Fried earned the PhD in Atomic Physics at MIT in 1999 for the experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped ultracold atomic hydrogen.  He has been granted nine patents and has co-authored numerous publications.

Brandon Call joined 3DEO® as a Geiger-mode lidar technology specialist in December, 2015. Previously, he was a product and engineering manager at Lockheed Martin Procerus Technologies, leading a team of engineers focused on avionics for small autonomous aircraft and ensuring that products met acceptance performance tests for the customer. Prior to working at Lockheed Martin, Brandon worked at MIT Lincoln Laboratory for 7 years developing Geiger-mode lidar technologies and systems. He supported development, data processing, data analysis and visualization, sensor maintenance and personnel training for the ALIRT system. He was also a system architect for the MACHETE ladar system. Mr. Call earned an MS in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University in 2006, focusing on computer vision and image processing for airborne sensors.

Dr. Kim Reichel

Dr. Kimberly Reichel joined the 3DEO® team in August 2019. As an optimist, she is passionate about developing new technologies to improve our world. Her research interests have previously encompassed terahertz (THz) science and applications, from active waveguide devices based on electronically reconfigurable liquid metals to quantum cascade laser (QCL) fabrication in random lasing geometries as well as extreme sub-wavelength THz imaging using scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM). She values equipping others and serves as an Ambassador of the Optical Society of America (OSA) where she provides support to OSA student chapters and professional development resources to the greater OSA community. She received her Ph.D. (2016) and M.S. (2013) in Applied Physics from Rice University and B.S. (2010) from the University of Miami.
