Dr. Stone is the leader of the Construction Metrology and Automation group at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Current major program management at NIST includes the development of real-time field sensing systems in support of the CONSIAT Program (Construction Integration and Automation Technologies). Previous project management included the development of the National Construction Automation Testbed (NCAT -- a government/industry consortium to investigate data uplink issues for construction sites and to develop augmented simulation systems for component tracking and vehicle control at construction sites), and the National Advanced Manufacturing Testbed (NAMT) program in construction automation (in which a 30-ton full-scale bridge crane was remotely monitored using live, 3D data-driven augmented reality, wireless video and audio, and high speed net trunking). This latter capability was selected for inclusion in the Highway One NGI Congressional demonstration for the Next Generation Internet. Dr. Stone has 20 years of professional research, design, development, and deployment experience in structures, dynamics, and mechanical systems (including stress analysis, 3D design, simulation, and design for manufacture); extensive experience in scientific software development, data visualization, sensing systems, 3D laser radar and sonar data processing; and was the principal architect for a number novel autonomous systems containing fault tolerant embedded control systems. His current applied research at NIST includes the development of autonomous radiation metrology and mapping systems, through-wall impulse radar tracking systems, laser radar-based terrain modeling systems, real-time discrete component laser tracking systems, the development of wireless intelligent sensing, control, and simulation systems for construction machinery, and web-based real-time construction information systems. He has also worked on a number of space-related projects including the conversion of the space shuttle external tank into an orbiting industrial laboratory, studies for Congress on the international space station, the development of an ultra-fast, precision space vehicle reaction control thruster. His current fundamental research focus involves the development of micro-fabricated economical, high accuracy laser radars. Dr. Stone has received many awards and recognitions, including: ACI Structural Research Award (2000), ACI Structural Research (1997), BFRL Communications Award (1997), BFRL Communications Award (1990), BFRL Communications Award (1988), Bronze Medal, U.S. DOC (1987), T.Y. Lin Award, ASCE (1985), Wason Medal, American Concrete Institute (1985), Who's Who Among Rising Young Americans.
