Dana is leading a team of DSP engineers developing an advanced speech enhancement algorithm family based on a detailed model of human auditory pathway.

Previously, Dana was Senior Research Director at Waves, Manager of Audio Hardware at Apple Computer, Co-Founder - FluxNetwork, a startup in handheld multimedia distribution software (today this would be called pod-casting).

Dana was a founding member and, later, Director of the Creative Advanced Technology Center, which generated all of the core technologies for the Creative Sound Blaster Live! soundcard. Dana invented Environmental Audio, which has become a major industry standard, licensed by Microsoft, and adopted by all major PC multimedia vendors and games developers. These successes capped off 15 years experience in audio and multimedia engineering, including work at startups WaveFrame in Boulder, Co. and NeXT Inc. in Palo Alto. At E-mu, in 1984/85, Dana invented the key concepts behind Sound Designer, the initial software product from the successful startup Digidesign, which was later acquired by Avid. Dana holds five patents.
