Profile:

I've been a proud IEEE member since 1982.  Being retired military with over 26 years in the United States Air Force, Dr. Santiago has been involved in university level education since 1984 as a faculty member and Director of Personnel at the US Air Force Academy (1984-1989). Professor Santiago is an electrical engineer, manager, and executive with more than 30 years of leadership and aerospace experience in technical program management, acquisition development and operations research support.

He has over 40 published papers and/or technical presentations.  Professor Santiago spearheaded over 40 international scientific and engineering conferences/workshops as a steering committee member while assigned in Europe. Dr Santiago has solid experience in many engineering disciplines and missions, including: control and modeling of large flexible space structures, communications system, electro-optics, high-energy lasers, missile seekers/sensors for precision guided munitions, image processing/recognition, information technologies, space, air and missile warning, missile defense, and homeland defense.

He has taught a total of over 40 different classes in his career, including: numerous graduate courses in electrical and systems engineering as well as teaching undergraduate courses in electrical engineering, physics, and mathematics.

As an entrepreneur,  he's continuing to work on implementing internet technology and processes for web-based and distance engineering education.  His efforts led him to being found on YouTube to write a book for the popular Dummies series brand by Wiley: "Circuit Analysis for Dummies".  He will be developing videos designed around his dummies book including follow-on topics not covered in the book. 

Professor Santiago is married to the former Emerenciana Manaois Figuerres.
