Dr. Claudia Lainscsek is a Programmer/Analyst and Research Scientist with NSI. Dr. Lainscsek earned her Ph.D. in the field of Time Series Analysis, Global Modeling of Data, and Dimension Estimation at the Technical University of Graz. She is the author of several papers on Dynamical Modeling and Time Series Analysis. In addition to her academic work, Dr. Lainscsek has completed courses on instructor training (Train the Trainer academy) at the Educational Institute for Professionals in Graz in 1995, and has worked as a computer trainer for software (Windows, DOS, Unix, Word, Corel Draw, C, HTML) at the Educational Institute for Professionals in Graz. Dr. Lainscsek has obtained several awards for her work from the Technical University of Graz (1992-1993 and 1995-1996), from the Dr. Maria Schaumayer Foundation in 1993, and a scholarship from the Ministry for Science and Arts (1982-1985). Currently Dr. Lainscsek heads NSI's web development services.
Dr. Aron Pentek, Ph.D in Physics from University of California San Diego (UCSD) is a Senior Research Scientist at NSI. Dr. Pentek has held positions at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Eotvos University (Hungary), and the Institute for Pure and Applied Physical Sciences at UCSD. Dr. Pentek has over 7 years research experience in nonlinear dynamics, fluid dynamics, statistical physics, and signal processing. He is currently supporting NSI's efforts in developing novel signal processing techniques and models for complex systems.
NSI's corporate headquarters are maintained at a home office approximately 45 minutes south of the metropolitan Washington, DC area in Stafford, Virginia.
All of NSI's facilities meet environmental laws and regulations of Federal, State, and County governments for, but not limited to, airborne emissions, waterborne effluents, external radiation levels, outdoor noise, solid and bulk waste disposal practices, and handling and storage of toxic and hazardous materials.
NSI utilizes a suite of Pentium PCs, DEC Alpha 3000, two Pentium-class laptop PCs, two specialty Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) MicroVAX II GPX systems, and other high speed upgraded MS-DOS/Windows-based systems, as well as several Apple Macintosh machines and other computing resources. Research and administrative workstations are located in open access areas, and are equipped with modems to facilitate communication and the transfer of documents between NSI personnel, consultants, and subcontractors who work at geographically separate units (GSUs) on various programs. All of the computer systems have access to one or more high resolution laser printers. NSI also maintains a variety of specialty hardware systems which can be used for limited experimental and field test applications.
In terms of software, NSI has developed a unique, highly flexible "applications" framework which can be easily tailored to address many diverse intelligence, reconnaissance, remote sensing, imaging, signal processing and related problems. NSI's total proprietary NLD, signal, and image processing operational software assets currently consist of more than 200,000 lines of C, MATLAB, and FORTRAN code, as well as numerous third-party products. All of our internally developed software is resident on both our IBM and DEC platforms, which provides redundancy in both hardware and software, as well as flexibility for software development. Software development is routinely accomplished on all of the machines listed above, which can be netted together to facilitate flexible, convenient, and timely software development and data production.
