Mr. Markham graduated from Wesleyan University in 1984 with an M.A. in Chemistry, and The University of Hartford in 1981 with a B.S. in Chemistry.Mr. Markham joined AFR in January 1983.R&D contracts awarded to Mr. Markham have concentrated on methods and instrumentation for optical-based measurements of process emissions, radiative properties, and temperature.Successful programs with the U.S. Air Force and Army have resulted in the delivery of specialty infrared and laser/fiber optic instruments.These instruments solved special measurement needs for the Air Force and Army, and a patented technology delivered to the Air Force received a prestigious R&D 100 award from R&D Magazine in 1994.Mr. Markham has publications, two patents and two patents pending, and has given presentations to the DOD, DOE, EPA, NASA, industrial/government consortiums, and universities.He has also performed field tests at turbine engine test cells, black liquor recovery boilers, a glass kiln, a coal fired boiler, a chemical incinerator and several government labs and military bases.Mr. Markham is also the Manager of the Combustion Monitoring & Control Research Group ("TurboSense") at AFR.
