Dr. Pierre Zakarauskas received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of British Columbia and has worked for 11 years as a defence scientist for the Canadian Department of National Defence conducting research in detection systems. He has significant experience in developing and applying signal processing to practical applications, and has filed a patent for a device to detect landmines in heavily forested areas. He co-founded a successful high tech company, Wavemakers Inc., where he held the posts of President, V.P. of R&D, and CTO. Wavemakers was acquired by Harman International Industries (NYSE: HAR) in 2003.

Robert Williams has over 35 years experience in the aerospace industry. Formerly Vice President Marketing, Sales and International Business of the Avmax Group Inc., and a Regional Director with British Aerospace, he has extensive contacts with senior government officials in countries with significant numbers of landmines. Mr. Williams' experience in the oil and gas industry, geological mapping and helicopter logging in remote isolated areas will be invaluable in developing successful field operations in remote areas.
