Michael J. Attisha

Michael Attisha assists the Electrical & Computer Technologies Group in patent prosecution in the areas of software, networks, electronics, and signal processing.

Prior to joining the firm, Michael worked at Ab Initio Software assisting clients with their enterprise data processing applications. Michael’s work at Ab Initio spanned a wide range of fields including web services, network communications, systems architecture, metadata management and operational management, as well as many different operating systems, database platforms and languages.

During his graduate studies at Brown University, Michael worked on the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) experiment located a half mile underground in northern Minnesota. The experiment aims to be the first to observe interactions between a dark matter particle and a detector within the laboratory. Michael has experience working with semiconductors, cryogenics, and low temperature electronics, in addition to data acquisition systems and cluster computing. His dissertation research focused on novel ways to apply automated pattern classification schemes and signal processing methods to improve CDMS’s sensitivity to the detection of dark matter.

Michael completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Warwick in the U.K., where he performed research exploring field theories of gravitation.
