Dr. Sutton received the B.S.E.E. degree from Syracuse University in 1965, M.S.E.E. degree from Case-Western Reserve University in 1968, and Ph.D. degree from the Air Force Institute of Technology in 1981. He has over 40 years of experience in technical research and development positions in government and academe. At the Air Force Avionics Lab, Electronics Technology Division (now part of the Air Force Research Laboratories, Sensors Directorate, Aerospace Components and Subsystems Technology Division), he was
he was involved in the development of advanced microwave, optical and integrated circuit devices. At the Electromagnetic Compatibility Center, he managed electromagnetic compatibility analyses related to the development of various radio frequency emitting systems. He was in charge of the Engineering Division, Air Force Frequency Management Center, where he was responsible for obtaining authority for Air force organizations to develop and field radio frequency emitting systems by demonstrating conformance to existing regulations or by negotiating agreements with Federal Agencies (Federal Communications Commission; Federal Aviation Agency) and international organizations (International Telecommunications Union and the Soviet Union). He was an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Air Force Institute of Technology 1981 - 1985, and an Adjunct Professor at Wright State University. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a member of Sigma Xi, Pi Mu Epsilon, Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi. His areas of interest include semiconductor materials and devices, process simulation, and VLSI circuit design. After having served from 1987 as an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and subsequently a Visiting Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, he accepted a position as Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Assistant Chair for Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Fall of 1990.
