He also offers professional advice to young engineers and inventors, and comments on the value of IEEE and other digital resources to his continuing work.
Here he describes the fascinating and often connected circumstances that led to several of his inventions, including the RFID, patented in 1973, a method for tracking electronic addresses (patented in 2011), a (UV) light-based visible light generator (patented in 2013), and a nano RFID(patent issued in 2017). Cardullo recalls his early family life, his education, and entrance into the world of engineering, his contribution to liquid fuel research as a Variable Thrust Senior Propulsion Engineer for Belcom in the early days of the Apollo Program, and as First Corporate Planner for the Communications Satellite Corporation, where he published papers on his concept for maritime communication satellites (1966), leading to Immarsat, mobile communication satellites. He is presently Chairman of Cardullo Innovations Group Ltd. Cardullo has served as a professor and written multiple textbooks, and has been instrumental in establishing several businesses. He received a BME and an MME from NYU-Poly, an MEA degree from George Washington University, and a Ph.D. is a Registered Professional Engineer and an American inventor with multiple patents, most notably for the modern RFID in 1969 (patented in 1970 and issued in Jan 1973). 5.2 Higher Education: mechanical engineeringĪbout Mario Cardullo.
