To position the company for future growth, Labsphere has announced two appointments in its engineering department. Greg McKee was promoted to vice president of engineering, while Dr. Dan Scharpf assumes McKee’s previous position as general manager of the Systems Business unit. In his new role, McKee will be responsible for all aspects of engineering and technical development, including the direction of product development for software, light measurement and uniform source systems, and custom solutions for customer-specific applications. A member of the board of directors, McKee will collaborate on strategic plans for the growth of the company. McKee, who has served the company for 23 years, has held a number of technical and marketing management positions. Scharpf will manage all aspects of sales and production of custom systems, overseeing a group of engineers focusing on identifying and designing custom solutions for light measurement and remote sensing applications. Scharpf joined the company two years ago as sales manager for the unit. Before that, he had acquired more than 20 years of experience in laboratory testing, data analysis, and simulation and analytical modeling in thermal analysis, acoustics, aerodynamics and light measurement.
