Adj. Professor Ronald A. Newcomb

SDSU International Consortium of Advanced Technologies and Security, I am one of only five adjunct professors working directly with the College of Sciences at SDSU. That is, not in a department. Professors derive their title from who they work for, so I am an Professor of Sciences with the Adjunct Faculty. At the College I work under Professor Eric Frost and Bob Welty at the Center for Information Technology and Infrastructure (CITI) and am the Director of Operations for the International Consortium of Advanced Technologies and Security (ICATS), and am the Principle Investigator at ICATS and Assistant to Director, Interdisciplinary Studies Masters Degree Program in Homeland Security focusing on Curriculum and Program Enhancement. I am Chairman of the Board, Majority owner World Wide Assets LLC, and Strident Ltd. a subsidiary of WWA. Current: Chairman of the Board, Director, member, World Wide Assets LLC, and Strident Ltd., TreeWater Hedge Funds, Libby 14 carbon credit company. I am the author of the company business plans including the plans to develop Laguna Salada in Baja California which will be the largest development project in the world, by far and have a negative carbon footprint. It is his design of the geothermal desalination device that is the enabling technology for that development project. Strident Ltd. has received a license for that technology for the State of Baja California, Mexico.

Description

ICATS is in the College of Sciences at San Diego State University, the # 1 small research project University in the country. Adj. Professor Ronald A. Newcomb is the Director of Operations and states the Consortium looks at technologies and sees whether they can be improved and whether they ought to be taken to market or not. More importantly, they have perfected geothermal desalination enabling high volume desalination at affordable rates for municipalities. This led to the Laguna Salada Project, the development of a 100 square mile lagoon, currently a sub sea level dry lakebed. The project will use only renewable energy for desalination and for electricity. The project would double the size and economic base of Mexicali.
