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.
