[gravatar email=”lucas@pcka.com” class=”alignleft” size=”96″ default=”https://pcka.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gravatar.jpg”]C. E. Lucas received the BSEE, MSEE, and PhD from Purdue University in 1991, 1997, and 2003, respectively. His research interests include distributed computing and parallel/multi-rate integration techniques as applied to the simulation of electromechanical power systems. Since joining PCKA, he has served as the principal investigator on several SBIR and STTR Phase I and II efforts as well as other contracts encompassing several branches of the Department of Defense. He is a co-inventor of Distributed Heterogeneous Simulation (DHS) and has authored or co-authored over 20 technical papers. He joined PCKA as an Engineer in 1997 and is currently a Senior Engineer and Director of Computer and Networking Services.
