Mr. Sirianni has over 25 years of experience and research and development in radiation propagation models, atmospheric correction techniques, infrared and multispectral synthetic scene generation, modeling and simulation, data exploitation, image processing algorithm development, and heat transfer and thermodynamic modeling. He also has extensive experience with field data collections and ground truth experiments covering both reflective and emissive projects. Several years ago as an RIT adjunct faculty member, he designed and taught imaging science focused computer programming classes for CIAS. In addition to first-line supervisor experience, he managed a large (100+) Image Science team within an Engineering Services group while working at a large defense contractor and was responsible for providing engineering leadership spanning multiple locations and for department budget activities to maximize operational efficiency and worked directly with finance and business development to trend direct labor performance. Mr. Sirianni has provided management oversight on many programs to ensure successful completion on schedule, within budget and in-line with quality standards. He has supported business development initiatives which typically incorporated the customization of applications and facilitated communication upward and across project teams including project status, justifications for variances, and technical information (customer requirements, architecture, design and implementation objectives). In his previous career, Mr. Sirianni received a Corporate President's award for successfully shaping what would have been a fiercely competitive procurement into a sole-source multimillion dollar prime contract award. As the Associate Director for the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory in the Center for Imaging Science, Mr. Sirianni is responsible for program management and business development activities for current and new research to fund students and research staff.
