Summit Speaker

Mr. Misko has more than 14 years of Electrical Engineering and Project Management experience, with a specialization in the development of embedded systems, instrumentation, measurements, and all aspects of electromechanical system design. Mr. Misko is the Project Manager for Commercial and DoD Programs at UAB's Engineering and Innovative Technology Development group (EITD). His core expertise lies in his ability to develop and lead multi-disciplinary teams towards implementation of unique and mission critical hardware and software solutions for a wide range of R&D applications and clients - including the US Army, NASA, DoE, and NIH.

Starting as a contractor for the USAF in 2009, Mr. Misko developed expertise in the development and implementation of unique instrumentation systems for measurement of structural response and material characterization for blast protection. After joining UAB EITD in 2013, Mr. Misko immediately began development and implementation of novel hardware solutions for a number of NASA payloads as part of the EITD Electrical Engineering team and began to lead efforts to pursue and deliver unique embedded hardware and software solutions for medical device and environmental monitoring applications with private industry and government customers such as the NIH and DoE. In 2020, Mr. Misko began working as Program Coordinator to begin building out the Autonomous Vehicle Mobility Institute (AVMI) at UAB; where he continues to manage the development of unique co-simulation frameworks for the AVMI Simulator of Autonomous Mobility (SAM) and novel approaches to Autonomous Perception in off-road unstructured environments.
