He has also published a number of EMI/EMC/E³ related technical papers over the last two decades.

	Larry Sheridan, EMC Systems Engineer ETS-Lindgren Reverberation Testing w/ Multiple Probes for ISO 11451-5, Annex G Larry Sheridan is an EMC Systems Engineer and has been with ETS-Lindgren in Cedar Park, Texas since 2014. His responsibilities include EMC test system design and integration as well as TILE!™ software implentation and support, including TILE! training. He has been in the EMC sector for 30 years as a Technician, Engineer, Engineering Representative as well as his current position as an EMC Systems Engineer. After attending the U.S. Army Electronics School at Fort Gordon, GA and Foothill College in Palo Alto, CA, Larry worked in the civil and public safety sector in two-way communications. In 1996, he started his qualification test career at Grimes Aerospace and in 1997, his EMC career at L-3 Cincinnati Electronics. During that time, he supported and/or managed many high-profile aerospace EMC qualification programs including the radios for the Cassini satellite as well as the Mars Exploration Rovers, command destruct receivers for rockets and missiles, Full Authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC) for jet engine manufacturers, and HIRF testing on many critical flight systems for all forms of aircraft. Larry also wrote and maintained test software for radiated and conducted susceptibility in VB4 prior to learning about, and becoming a fan of, the TILE! environment.
