Dr. Ropp has more than 45 years of diverse experience in the chemistry of materials, including glass and its preparation. His work has encompassed both CRT and lamp phosphors and the design of all types of lamps and display devices. His experience also includes electroluminescent and plasma discharges, flat panel displays and the measurement of optical properties of glasses and phosphors. Dr. Ropp was a researcher and general manager at Westinghouse, Allied Chemical and CPG. He also did private research into the development of? the first polymeric glasses and performed crystal growth research on new laser crystals. He was a Consultant to three lamp companies and helped them develop high-intensity UV lamps for the tanning-bed industry.?Dr. Ropp was responsible for the original development of the red color-TV phosphor which made possible viewing color-TV under daylight intensity conditions. Before that time, color-TV could only be viewed in a darkened room. This phosphor is now used world-wide in all types of color-TV display panels. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Ropp has been involved as an Expert Witness in more than 150 cases. He has published 5 books previously concerning phosphors and their applications. He is a Fellow and "Certified Chemist" of The Royal Society of Chemistry (London)(London) and is a life-member of the American Ceramic Society.
