Dr. Donald A. Hirst

Career Summary
I am currently Physcis Laboratory Supervisor and Instructor at the University of Dayton. I was recently Product Development
Manager for Evanhoe & Associates providing oversight of technical projects for the government and private
industry. I have more than 25 years of experience successfully managing and consulting on technical and
scientific projects and programs worth several million dollars for the defense and intelligence communities both
as an Air Force Officer and as an employee with The Aerospace Corporation. Applications of the projects have
included sensors designed for space, air, land and sea environments which have transferred to proof-of-concept
and operational systems. Accomplishment of these projects has required cooperation and coordination across
intelligence and DOD organizations. I have a PhD in Physics.
