Dr. Gilman is a hands-on scientist/engineer and a certified thermographer with over forty years in clinical medicine R&D, consumer products R&D, and pharmaceutical R&D.  Robin first started using thermal imaging in 1983 with clinical studies on nasal decongestion, gingivitis, and antihistamines.  Success with clinical studies opened the door for using thermal imaging to study/trouble-shoot processes and equipment in the pilot plant and manufacturing facilities.  

Throughout his career Robin has had a passion for using advanced technology to provide useful information about products and processes, and advanced thermal imaging is just that kind of technology.  After a successful career in consumer products and pharmaceutical R&D, Robin has started a new technical consulting business, Gilman THERMOGRAPHIC SOLUTIONS LLC.  His new venture focuses on using quantitative thermography to help maintain quality, improve efficiency, increase understanding, and solve problems in R&D, commercial, manufacturing, and maritime. 

Robin holds a PhD in bio-medical engineering and a MS in electrical engineering from George Washington University.  He is also an ITC Level III certified thermographer.  He has published over a dozen scientific papers and is a member of United Infrared, IEEE, and SPIE.
