With over 25 years experience in algorithm design, Dr. Pasco combines his intuitive understanding of mathematical theory with comprehensive follow-through to practical software, firmware, and hardware implementations.

• Data compression and image processing
• Algorithm design and software architecture
• Mathematical modeling and simulation
• High-level prototyping to code optimization
• Embedded firmware architecture and coding
• Investigative problem diagnosis
• Data analysis and visualization
• Technical writing and document preparation
• Software design for maintainability

Dr. Pasco's graphical user interface, control protocol, and automatic calibration algorithm for Xros' optical switch module was key to public product demonstrations resulting in Xros' $3.25 billion corporate acquisition by Nortel Networks.

Dr. Pasco's Image Reconstruction DSP firmware for Acuson's Sequoia^ﾮ medical ultrasound imaging system, transformsradial ultrasound scans into raster image displays in medical facilities worldwide.

Dr. Pasco's image enhancement algorithms in Visioneer's PaperPort^ﾮ scanner, SharpPage^TM and AutoFix^TM, developed in-house, produced image results judged superior in blind tests to costlier vendor solutions.

Dr. Pasco's Stanford Ph.D. dissertation "Source Coding Algorithms for Data Compression" exhibited the first practical arithmetic coding algorithm. At IBM Research, he and and his colleagues implemented ASIC used in the IBM 3892 Bank Check Imaging System, in San Francisco's Federal Reserve Bank and community banks nationwide, to provide a low-cost alternative to microfilming check images.

Dr. Pasco received his B.S.E.E. from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and his M.S.E.E. and Ph.D.E.E. from Stanford University. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
