Board of Directors Bios

Executive Director & Chairman of the Board

President and Chief Scientist, ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC

ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC, a privately-owned company founded by Dr. Andy Drozd in 1994, is dedicated to research, development, and the application of advanced computer software for a variety of applications. ANDRO’s diverse portfolio includes research and development in electromagnetic environmental effects on systems, dynamic spectrum management, spectrum exploitation, cyber-secure wireless communications, cognitive radios and software defined networking, multi-sensor and multi-target tracking, advanced radar data fusion, and sensor resource management. The positive impact of immersive learning is clearly, repetitively demonstrated through ANDRO’s internship program and the Project Fibonacci Foundation. The recognition of the skills gap across the STEAM disciplines belied the need for additional STEAM educational opportunities and entrepreneurial exposure. Dr. Andy Drozd is a firm-believer that the inclusion of the arts is necessary to course correct for STEM-only programs that are lacking and not feeding the STEM pipeline.
