4th Wave Staff
Dr. John N. Latta - President/Founder
John Latta has extensive experience in computing technology,
both software and hardware. He has B.E.S., M.S., and PhD degrees
in Electrical Engineering. His early research at the U. of Michigan,
RCA and Bell Labs was in the computer design of holographic optics
systems. His PhD research included the development of the first
program to do ray tracing for design of holographic optical elements.
The program is in commercial use today. His research then moved
to the development of sophisticated image processing and display
systems using minicomputer technology. Later research concentrated
on system integration of large systems and the management of such
projects.
Previous to starting 4th Wave, Inc. he was the founder/president
of another start-up company which specialized in system engineering
and integration for the Department of Defense. The company achieved
$5million in sales and a 60 person staff in 5 years. 4th Wave is
not the work of one individual however, but the net result of the
talents of several who all share in the mission of 4th Wave. The
company takes pride in the quality of its staff and their ability
to evaluate a wide range of markets.
