| profile: | Kevin Menear is the Director of R&D for Mechanical Systems at MineWerks. MineWerks was founded by a team of students at RPI dedicated to the eradication of such buried explosives as landmines and roadside bombs. MineWerks' detection technology is being developed at a time when over 2,000 people are being killed or maimed by buried landmines and other explosives each month. Competing technologies are far too expensive, time-consuming, and hazardous to personnel on the ground to be capable of addressing the worldwide threat of unexploded ordinances in a meaningful way. Kevin Menear is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. |
