Stuart A. Kingsley is a fiber optic consultant and Director of the world's first Amateur Optical SETI Observatory. He received a B.Sc. Honors and Ph.D. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from The City University, London (1972) and University College London (1984), respectively (England). He worked at Battelle Columbus Division as Principal Research Scientist and then as Senior Research Scientist from 1981 to 1987. He has been involved in producing a variety of fiberoptic sensors, including fiber-optic rotation sensors. He invented the fiber-optic line-stretcher and fiber-optic line-squeezer phase modulators that are now important components in fiber-optic sensor systems. He shared a 1984 Rank Prize in Optoelectronics for pioneering work on fiber-optic sensing.

Stuart's other professional interests include the possible health effects of electromagnetic pollution and adverse effects from fluorescent lighting/VDT flicker. He is the author of 38 papers in fiberoptics, mainly related to coherent systems and distributed fiberoptic sensing, and several patents mainly in the area of coherent fiberoptic systems. He is a member of the IEE, a British Chartered Engineer, a senior member of IEEE and a member of Eta Kappa Nu Association. He is also a member of The Planetary Society, the Columbus Astronomical Society, and a former member of the Astronomical Society of Haringey (ASH) in London.

* The last conference paper will give preliminary details of the design of the world's first Amateur Optical SETI Observatory, presently under construction in the author's backyard.
