His research areas include automation, digital equipment design and manufacturing, and the research, development and manufacturing of data transmission equipment and other computer network devices necessary for the communication of computers and terminals, a form of telecommunications technology that was emerging at the time.

His mathematical, physical and engineering knowledge and creative imagination were extraordinary. He retired in 1985.
