Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc.

Roger W. Pryor, PhD, is president of Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., a COMSOL Certified Consultant. He facilitates the solution of challenging scientific and other technical problems for government contractors, academia, and industry. Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., became one of the first COMSOL Certified Consultants when the program was initiated. Pryor Knowledge Systems offers expert services that support a broad range of electronic, electromechanical, semiconductor, RF, microwave, electron beam, and thermal device development from basic research through mathematical multiphysics modeling, computational physics, and quantitative data analysis. Current areas of activity include infrared sensors, catalytic reaction processes and more.

Our president, Dr. Pryor, is a physicist with significant grant development and acquisition experience. He has built scientific and industrial research laboratories. He has managed scientific and industrial research teams and larger groups. Dr. Pryor has both management and hands-on research and development experience in the fields of mechanics, optics, photonics, semiconductor device structures, electronics, integrated circuits, electromagnetism, vacuum deposition, optical and electron-beam lithography, and materials science in both industrial and academic settings. He has designed, built, and applied specialized electronic devices (MNOS, PIN, FET, floating gate, etc.) using both amorphous and crystalline semiconductor materials (e.g., chalcogenides, silicon, diamond, and boron nitride).
