The College of Science and Mathematics is pleased to announce the reassignment of two staff members into research technology positions. The creation of these positions are a result of phasing out of the Electronics Repair Shop and to ensure the continuation of technical support to faculty, staff and students in research activities.
Jeffrey L. Cowgill Jr. is named Manager, Multimedia & Technology
Jeffrey L. Cowgill Jr. has been a staff member in the Department of Psychology since 1999. His work at Wright State includes over 15 years of experience in developing applications and supporting technology for research. He has interests in computer graphics, virtual environments, human machine interfaces, website design, and modeling and simulation. Jeff’s new position in the college will include supporting existing research technology and helping faculty, staff, and students implement new technology to expand research activity.
Jeff obtained his bachelor degree in Computer Engineering and his Masters of Business Administration from Wright State University. He is the recipient of the 2011 President’s Award for Excellence in Human Relations and volunteers as the treasurer of the non-profit Fairborn Performing Arts and Cultural Association.
Michael Hall re-assigned in CoSM as Electronic Design Technician
Michael Hall has been with Wright State University for 29 years as a technician in the Electronics Repair Shop. He has experience with a wide variety of laboratory instrumentation, from simple stirrers and heaters to complex analytical instruments, incubators, etc. He has designed and built special prototype circuitry for research applications.
Prior to coming to WSU, Mike spent 10 years with the C.F. Kettering Research Laboratory in Yellow Springs servicing lab instruments and prototyping new experimental instrumentation, and was a Field Service Engineer for Raytheon Corp.
You may contact him at michael.hall@wright.edu or by calling extension 3628.
In his current position within the college, electronic repair work will not require paperwork and labor will not be charged. However, parts must be purchased by the individual department requesting service and a mileage charge will be billed for any travel.
Please note that service on printers is being phased out due to the implementation of the Printing Services Consortium.
