Management

The Euclid Discoveries team is a tight knit, yet geographically dispersed group of developers, mathematicians, engineers and programmers in the multiple disciplines that impact our technology. While we’re based in Concord, MA, most of our team members live and work around the US, and the globe. In addition to the PhD’s and engineers that are dedicated full time to our technology, we also call on a number of the best researchers and professors at leading universities to collaborate and consult on key aspect of the development process.

Inspiring and directing the skills and expertise of this diverse team is the combined responsibility of the company’s management team:

 

Richard Y. Wingard
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer 

Mr. Wingard directs Euclid's overall strategic direction and drives research and development for the company. With over 25 years of experience with companies focused on the conception, development and launch of emerging technologies, he has held senior management positions at a number of leaders in the field, including Access Radiology Corporation, Tel-Care Inc., Multimedia Medical Systems and Vidimedix Corporation. Mr. Wingard was also in senior management at Sprint, where he oversaw the development and execution of a unique healthcare technology product, HANDS™, which set the standard for telemedicine. Prior to Sprint, Mr. Wingard worked for AT&T in Sales and Marketing. He serves as Managing Director of several companies in the technology and healthcare industries. Mr. Wingard graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a BA degree in Psychology.

 

J. Robert Werner

Nigel Lee, PhD
Chief Algorithmic Engineer

Dr. Lee brings extensive experience in matrix theory, adaptive signal processing, and systems analysis to Euclid, where he is working to develop advanced algorithms for image and video processing. Prior to joining the company, Dr. Lee was a principal investigator in the Advanced Sensor Techniques Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. There, he developed advanced adaptive processing techniques to improve the detection and classification of submarine targets via both submarine towed arrays and torpedo arrays. Dr. Lee has also managed projects focused on adaptive time-frequency detection of active sonar signals in shallow water environments for the Weapons Technology Branch of the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, RI. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Brown University in Providence, RI, with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He received both his M.A. and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from Princeton University in New Jersey. His doctoral dissertation was on linear time-frequency detection of transient signals.
