As Chief Scientist for DiMora Motorcar, Dr. Lloyd G. Allred is evaluating and resolving the technical challenges of each of the systems to be included in the Natalia SLS 2. He directs the integration and testing of all systems in our vehicles.

Dr. Allred has worked at Bausch & Lomb, where his development of a new diagnostic instrument for human eye models involved feature recognition, edge detection, and image processing. He improved the accuracy of the image eye models by several factors and authored numerous patents and patent applications.

At Technisource and L-3 Communications, he developed technology for the detection of potential explosives in luggage at airport security screening points using dual energy methods for x-ray computed tomography to isolate material properties.

At Star Bridge Systems, Inc., Dr. Allred was Chief Scientist and technical lead of programming. He developed and debugged the operating system of high-speed hypercomputers based upon field-programmable gate arrays.

At Los Alamos National Laboratory, he developed image processing techniques for the Measurement Technology Group. Dr. Allred was Technical Lead and Manager of the U.S. Air Force Neural Engineering Research and Development Section (NERDS).

As an R&D engineer for Space Systems Engineering, Dr. Allred built an infrared horizon sensor for NASA's prototype Space Plane. He also developed inertial guidance and control systems for satellite collision prevention.

In his twenties, Dr. Allred was Minuteman ICBM accuracy program director at TRW. At Hercules, Inc., he improved reliability estimation using Bayesian Statistics, Monte Carlo simulation, and probability theory.

Dr. Allred has authored over 25 articles published in internationally-recognized conference proceedings and journals. He is a recognized expert on artificial life, including genetic algorithms and neural networks. He received the Air Force Patent Award for U.S. Patent #5,775,806, "Infrared Assessment System."

After being selected as the Utah State Sterling Scholar in mathematics in high school, Lloyd Allred entered the University of Utah, where he bypassed the bachelor's and master's degree programs to earn his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. Since 1994, he has served as Professor, Research Director for special projects and new technologies, and Student Thesis Advisor for Ph.D. programs at Utah State University.
