BERNARD GORDON

 

Bernard Gordon is cofounder and President of Neuro-Logica Corporation of Danvers, Massachusetts. He is the former Chairman of Analogic Corporation, a high technology company specializing in the design and development of customized high-precision data conversion and signal processing equipment. Over the years Analogic has developed a number of innovative products including the first solid state x-ray generator, the first baseband quadrature-detecting ultrasound scanner, the first fetal monitor, the first instant imaging CT system, the first networked patient monitoring system and recently, the first lightweight mobile CT scanner. Dr. Gordon is focusing his efforts at Neuro-Logica on developing a portable imaging system to assist stroke and trauma victims.

Upon earning a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from MIT, Dr. Gordon worked on the development of UNIVAC, the world’s first commercial digital computer. He subsequently co-founded EPSCO, Inc. where the original Datrac high-speed A/D converter was developed and applied to myriad pioneering digitizing and signal processing applications. Today, Dr. Gordon is considered the father of high-speed analog-to-digital conversion.

Dr. Gordon was elected to the Tufts Board of Trustees in 1996 and currently serves on the Committee for University Advancement, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Overseers for the School of Engineering. In 1992, the Gordon Institute, which Dr. Gordon founded to develop and train promising engineers to become exceptional engineering leaders, became affiliated with Tufts University. It has since become one of the university’s signature programs.
