In 1984, he was responsible for introducing the company's first radiation hardened product, a 'nuclear event detector', which senses potentially damaging radiation effects and shuts down sensitive electronic systems to avoid or limit damage.
Since 2000, he has been responsible for implementing Maxwell's Microelectronics product strategy of combining proprietary radiation mitigation technologies with commercial semiconductors to produce and market high-performance, space-qualified components and systems.
'Larry has been instrumental in dozens of new product introductions, including the SCS750 single board computer for space that Northrop Grumman Space Technologies selected over competing products from several leading space products OEMs to handle both spacecraft control and data handling for the US Government's next generation weather satellite programme', said Dr Richard Balanson, Maxwell's President and Chief Executive officer.
'Under his leadership, the Microelectronics Group has literally come out of nowhere to establish itself as a respected supplier to a very demanding and competitive industry'.
