` Litigation Experiences
`• 2021 retained as Expert Witness in cases involving use of sensors for monitoring of
`movement of a human for training purposes. This case is pending decisions on
`institution by the board.
`• 2020 retained as Expert Witness in multiple patents related to design of optical
`physiological monitors. IPRs were instituted against all thirteen. challenged patents.
`Subsequent work included preparation and submission of reports and responses, and
`numerous depositions. In a string of final written decisions that issued from February
`through May 2022, the patent board invalidated all but one challenged claim of the
`thirteen patents.
`• 2019 retained as Expert witness in case related to wearable baby monitors, including
`motion and temperature sensors. Case settled during drafting of expert infringement
`report.

`suit brought by ST. I assisted in claim construction, prepared expert reports on claim
`construction, validity and infringement, and provided deposition testimony. I was
`
`• 2016, Expert Witness in case involving optical proximity sensors in smartphones. I was
`retained by HTC America and Capella, who were defendants in the case. I was
`compensated by defendants for work involving Invalidity and Non-Infringement reports,
`and was deposed after expert reports on invalidity and non-infringement. This case
`settled just a few weeks before trial in march 2017. This was Case Action No. 2:15-cv-
