Osterman, Michael
Director, CALCE Electronic Products and System Consortium
Center for Advanced Lifecycle Engineering
BACKGROUND
Dr. Michael Osterman (Ph.D., University of Maryland, 1991) is a Research Scientist and the director of the CALCE Electronic Products and System Consortium at the University of Maryland. He heads the development of simulation-assisted reliability assessment software for CALCE and simulation approaches for estimating the time to failure of electronic hardware under test and field conditions. Dr. Osterman served as a subject matter expert on phase I and II of the Lead-free Manhattan Project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research in conjunction with the Joint Defense Manufacturing Technical Panel (JDMTP). He has consulted with automotive, medical, defense, and industrial electronic companies on the transition to lead-free materials. He organized and chaired the International Symposium on Tin Whiskers from 2007 to 2013. He has written eight book chapters and over 120 articles. He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ASME, IMAPS, and SMTA
