GUEST SPEAKER
warren citrin, a long-standing member of the Clark School of Engineering Board of Visitors, co-founded his first compa-ny, Solipsys Corporation, in March 1996. He was the CEO and a member of the Board of Solipsys from 1996 until the sale of the company to Raytheon Company in March 2003. Under his leadership, Solipsys grew to more than 200 employees. In May 2003, he won the Ernst and Young award for Maryland Entrepreneur of the Year. Following the sale to Raytheon, Mr. Citrin was selected for membership to the Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems oversight committee, which directs the efforts of over 12,000 employees worldwide. He held that position and remained as President and Board member of Raytheon Solipsys until leaving the company in April 2005 to start a new venture, Gloto Corp., which specializes in mobile technology for the en-tertainment and sports industry. Mr. Citrin has established the Warren Citrin Graduate Fellowships in Global Sustainability and Entrepreneurship at the Clark School. He was awarded the Clark School’s 2015 Glenn L. Martin medal for outstanding engineer-ing and entrepreneurship.
Prior to his founding of Solipsys, Mr. Citrin was the assistant supervisor of the Engineering Analysis Group at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). During his 18 years at JHU/APL, he contributed to the design and development of automatic signal processing and tracking systems for numer-ous surface and airborne combatant radar systems. From 1985 until 1996, Mr. Citrin led the design, development, and integra-tion of what remains the U.S. Navy’s premier radar network, the Cooperative Engagement Processing System.
Mr. Citrin received a B.S. from the University of South Carolina in 1973 and an M.S. in applied mathematics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1977. He holds patents in advanced military radar networking technology and for numerous mobile phone applications.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SPEAKER
jaser attallah is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in elec-trical engineering. As a first-generation Jordanian American immigrant, Jaser took every chance to step beyond his comfort zone and overcome barriers.
After arriving in the United States in 2018, Jaser began his college career at Howard Community College. He was award-ed the John G. Monteabaro Mathematics Endowment and the Kahlert Foundation STEM Scholarship. In Fall 2019, he earned his associate degree in electrical engineering.
During his time at Maryland Engineering, Jaser held leader-ship roles in the undergraduate community of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), such as serv-ing as an undergraduate teaching fellow for the Intermediate Programming Concepts course in Fall 2021. He is working on a project with his ECE peers to develop a remote-controlled robot that navigates different types of terrain without damag-ing its contents.
After interning for Mueller Associates, Inc., Jaser will tran-sition to a full-time role as an electrical design engineer with a focus on power systems. Jaser looks forward to building a career in electrical engineering where he can apply his skills to engineering principles, solve real-world problems, enhance his technical experience in a dynamic field of power systems, and gain overall insight into the engineering profession.
