CMS Announces Keynote Speaker for Conference
June 1, 2016
The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) has announced that Dr. Ed Morse, professor at UNC Charlotte, will present the keynote address at the 32nd Annual Coordinate Metrology Society Conference (CMSC), July 25 - 29, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Murfreesboro, TN. Since 1999, Dr. Morse has been a professor of mechanical engineering at UNC Charlotte, pursuing research in both tolerancing and metrology. During this time, Morse has further extended his experience to large-scale metrology systems, including laser trackers, photogrammetry and laser radar systems. He also spent a year at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) working in the large scale metrology group from 2007 - 2008. Morse's areas of specialty are dimensional metrology, coordinate measurement machines, GD&T (geometric dimensioning and tolerancing) and statistical control. He currently serves as a team leader for the PrecisionPath Consortium for Large Scale Manufacturing, along with Ron Hicks, CMS PrecisionPath Chair.
Dr. Morse will kick off the 2016 CMSC on Tuesday morning, July 26, with his address covering the work of the PrecisionPath Consortium for Large-scale Manufacturing and its roadmap for the future of metrology and manufacturing. After receiving his Bachelor of Science from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, he began his engineering career at Brown and Sharpe Manufacturing Company. He first worked as an application engineer for CMM software, and then transitioned into the Advanced Systems group. In 1993, he returned to graduate school at Cornell University, where he earned both his Master of Science and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering. Morse is certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) as a Senior Level GD&T professional.
The Coordinate Metrology Society Conference attracts 3-D industrial measurement professionals and scientists with its slate of technical presentations in the field of metrology. Attendees gather each year to share information and discuss measurement strategies utilized by industries such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, power generation and more. The CMSC's Exhibition Hall, Measurement and Educational Zones are prime resources for novices and veterans to learn more about industry best practices, portable 3-D coordinate measurement solutions, scientific research and developments and technology management.
