Bob Goldstein
AVA Mobile
Founder and President

Goldstein this year launched AVA Mobile, a provider of secure media delivery and collaboration software and services.

Goldstein is co-author with Alexis Gerard of "Going Visual: Using Images to Enhance Productivity, Decision Making, and Profits." The book focuses on how businesses are using new technology in the form of digital cameras; camera-phones and video to communicate instantly and precisely to better manage project teams and communicate with clients.

Goldstein began his digital imaging career in 1990 as president and founder of ZZYZX Visual Systems in Los Angeles, where he developed businesses in high volume image scanning, digital retouching, stock photo databases and digital distribution networks, fine art digital printing, interactive media projects, web site design, and digital photography studios.

He then became president of the Altamira Group, which produced the Genuine Fractals line of digital image scaling and compression software.

As a digital imaging consultant, his corporate clients have included Kodak, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard.

He is a senior analyst for The Future Image Report, for whom he authored a study of Internet visual search engines. Goldstein has appeared as a speaker at many conferences including PMA, DIMA, MacWorld, Siggraph, Seybold, PhotoPlus, and the Mobile Imaging Summit. He has been quoted in Forbes.com and WashingtonPost.com and appeared on CNN and NPR.

Goldstein has a business degree from the University of Southern California.

Edward Dowski
CDM Optics / OmniVision Technologies
President

Edward Dowski is a joint inventor of Wavefront Coding technology and co-founded CDM Optics, Inc. in 1995. Dr. Dowski is currently President of CDM Optics and was instrumental in the merging of CDM Optics and OmniVision Technologies in 2005. Dr Dowski has a broad range of technical experience ranging from radar systems to digital signal processing to imaging systems. He has been deeply involved in applying Wavefront Coding to a wide variety of applications areas including bar-code scanning, microscopy, endoscopy, biometrics, and miniature cameras. CDM Optics and Omnivision Technologies are developing the next generations of imaging technologies that use novel optics and innovative algorithms to transform the essential task of forming images from an opto-mechanical process to one of optical encoding and signal processing. By eliminating motors and actuators, the technology significantly reduces the size and complexity of the auto-focus function on a camera module. Dr. Dowski has been widely published and holds over 60 granted and pending patents. He has been invited to speak at national and international optical design conferences including SPIE Defense and Security, International Congress of Imaging Science, and Imaging Science and Technology.
