Research

Fries’ research includes the development of micro-systems and robotics/automation for sensing applications, advanced sensor development (e.g. chemical, physical and biological probes technologies) and mobile robotic systems for field applications.[6] His technical activities also involved advanced manufacturing technology, systems technology, medical instrumentation, technology commercialization, and arts-science. His research in ocean testing and sensing include sonar mapping of a Pensacola estuary, along with collecting mass spectrometer data to inform the City of Pensacola of its Bayou's water quality.[7] While at the University of South Florida, Fries developed underwater autonomous vehicle technologies to test water quality of the St. Petersburg, FL waterways and tweet publicly, real-time water composition updates.[8][9]

Publications and Patents

David Fries has composed, in part, over 30 peer reviewed publications, as well as over 40 publications and proceedings. In 2016, his technical writings on Non-Acoustic Sensors, in partnership with William Kirkwood, were included in the “Springer Handbook of Ocean Engineering”[10] He holds more than 35 U.S. patents, 13 of which have been licensed to seven separate companies.[11]
