Armed with 15 years of shaker, amplifier & controller engineering and a degree from the University of Michigan, John saw an opportunity to start something new and innovative. He used his experience and skills to create revolutionary control systems and began Vibration Research. Since he founded VR, John has stressed the importance of reliable, easy-to-use control systems and continuous development of leading-edge hardware and software.
While working on his Ph.D. in Control Theory at the University of Michigan, Phil joined Vibration Research in 1998 and immediately began developing software for the very first controller system. Phil is the chief author of VR control software, holds the patent on kurtosis-controlled random testing, and heads the software development team at Vibration Research.
