Dr. Peter J. Stein

    Dr. Stein is President and founder of Scientific Solutions, Incorportated and received his PhD from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanographic Engineering.  As an undergraduate he was awarded the Wallace Bruce Academic Prize from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Ocean Engineering, 1981.  His work as a student concentrated on ocean acoustics, sound and structural vibration, signals and systems, digital signal processing and marine data systems.  Dr. Stein’s thesis work studied the sound radiation from ice cracks in the Arctic, as applied to Arctic Ocean ambient noise and elastic wave propagation in floating ice plates.  His work in these areas is widely recognized and highlights his expertise in Arctic and harsh environment acoustic work.
     Under Peter’s guidance and leadership, SSI has been involved in a wide variety of projects centered on underwater acoustics and novel system development.   A partial list of underwater acoustic research and development projects conducted by SSI include an extensive list of innovative work that includes marine mammal protection systems, swimmer detection sonar networks, ocean modeling, ice penetrating buoys for Arctic research, and software integration systems for the Department of Defense.    

     Dr. Peter Stein is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of the American Geophysical Union.  Stein is also a Corporate Member of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Jay Lustig

Jay Lustig graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1980 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. He joined Scientific Solutions, Inc in June of 2001 as the Director of Government Relations and Business Development and is currently the Chief Operating Officer of SSI. Mr. Lustig also served as the project manager for the Integrated Marine Mammal Monitoring and Protection System (IMAPS) that was the first of its kind to integrate multiple detection methods into a single display system for the protection of marine mammals. Jay is an active member of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) and serves as a director to the Granite State Chapter and is also on the National and New England board of directors for The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).

Chip Nylander

Charles (Chip) Nylander led the development of software products and software systems architecture at Digital Equipment Corporation, where he was a Senior Consulting Engineer and the Technical Director for Software Development Technologies.  Following his tenure at DEC, he was for 11 years a Senior Team Leader for MATLAB development at The MathWorks, where he led the development of the MATLAB Accelerator /. JIT and the integration of MATLAB with Java.

Chip joined Scientific Solutions Incorporated as Senior Software Manager in 2007.  He led the software development and integration for the experimental Integrated Marine Mammal Monitoring and Protection System (IMAPS).  Since the successful conclusion of the IMAPS experiment in 2008, he has been responsible for the development, delivery, and enhancement of distributed systems for the detection and tracking of underwater threats.

Chip received a B.A. from Wheaton College, graduate studies in Computer Science at Boston University, and an MBA from Northeastern University.  He holds several patents related to software technology, and is a past vice-chairman of the X3J1 Technical Committee of the American National Standards Institute.
