Bernard M. Gordon is the founder, past chairman and CEO of Analogic Corporation and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Analogic. He holds more than 200 patents worldwide. A lifelong inventor, Mr. Gordon’s creations include the fetal monitor, the high-speed analog-to-digital converter, the instant imaging computer-aided tomography scanner, and Doppler radar. He is the primary architect of the multi-slice dual-energy computer tomography system that is the basis of the eXaminer 3DX 6000 Certified Explosive Detection System with over 1,000 units installed at airports worldwide. Mr. Gordon is often called the “father” of modern analog-to-digital conversion for his many contributions to the technology. Presently, he is Chairman of Photo Diagnostic Systems, Inc., involved in advanced imaging. He remains an active, entrepreneurial innovator. Mr. Gordon was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Reagan in 1986 and elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1991. He has been honored by the Engineering Societies of New England, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the Franklin Institute, the Museum of Science and Eta Kappa Nu, among others. He established the National Academy of Engineering’s Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Engineering Leadership Education. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from MIT and several honorary doctorate degrees in engineering and science.Bernard M. Gordon and the teams of engineers he has led have conceived, invented, and developed myriad pioneering high-technology instrumentation, medical imaging, security imaging, computer, aerospace telemetry and communications systems. Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Analogic Corporation, Bernard Gordon is often called the “father” of modern analog-to-digital conversion for his many contributions to the technologies that help enrich our lives. Presently, Chairman of Photo Diagnostic Systems, Inc., involved in advanced imaging, he remains an active, entrepreneurial innovator. Mr. Gordon has been awarded over 100 U.S. patents. Among his most significant patents are the first known Electronic Successive Approximation Analog-to-Digital Converters and Tomography Signal Processing Systems.From his earliest contributions to the development of UNIVAC – the world’s first commercial digital computer – and to the first alphanumeric dot matrix display, to scanning devices that would become the central core of modern medical imaging and counter-terrorism technology, Gordon has represented the key creative and essential role of the engineer in the development of new technology.Gordon was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Reagan in 1986 and elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1991.
