Experience:
Dr. Sabbagh founded Victor Technologies in 1998 to develop and market
VIC-3D(c), a unique computer code for eddy-current nondestructive
evaluation (NDE). Because of the research into computational electromagnetics
and computational inversion algorithms that went into the creation of VIC-3D(c), he was
elected to the grade of FELLOW in the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society.
His previous company, Sabbagh Associates, Inc.
(SAI), was especially active in the Small Business Innovation Research
Program (SBIR). With awards totaling $3M, the company was, at one time,
the largest recipient of SBIR funding in the State of Indiana. Because
of this excellent record, the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small
Business Administration awarded SAI its first National Tibbetts Award
in 1996.
Dr. Sabbagh and his brother, Dr. L. David Sabbagh, received The
Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) Achievement Award for their work
on "Verification of Field Flaw Models." TTCP consists of members of
the defense departments of Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New
Zealand, and the US. Of the nine TTCP awards made in 1992,
"Verification of Field Flaw Models" was one of two awards received by
Subgroup-P (Materials Technology). The research cited in the award is
the basis of the commercial code VIC-3D(c), that is being marketed by
Victor Technologies, LLC.
Hal, when he is not doing computational electromagnetics, is the
chanter at All Saints Orthodox Church, in Bloomington, IN, and when he
is not doing that, he can occasionally be found riding his bicycle up
and down the hills of Southern Indiana.
