Program Chair

Daniel W. Engels (USA)
University of Texas at Arlington

Dr. Engels recently relocated to Arlington, Texas from Boston, Mass., where he was the director and founder of the MIT Healthcare Research Initiative (HRI), founded to use RFID technologies to improve patient safety. As MIT’s Director of Research for Auto-ID Labs at MIT, his primary areas of RFID research were in reader collision problems, UHF tag antenna designs, tools for RFID use, the EPC System, and the impact of RFID on Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance. He was the principle liaison to EPCglobal. As the supervisor/Auto-ID Center Director of Protocols, he led the research and development of RFID standards, protocols for their use, as well as compliance and compatibility tests for systems developed to these standards. He led the development of the Auto-ID Class 1 Generation 1 UHF and HF protocols.
