Dr. Edward M. Reifman, DDS
Dr. Edward M. Reifman is a native of Los Angeles, California. He received both his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and his M.S. in Biomedical Engineering shortly thereafter, both at UCLA. Dr. Reifman graduated Magna Cum Laude (high honors). For the next two years, he worked at Hughes Aircraft Co. in the mechanical design of the first communications satellites to encircle the Earth. These ‘artificial moons’ as they were called then, were the forerunners of our current crop of earth-orbiting satellites, which now bounce daily signals to earth for HDTV viewing, radio, skype, global satellite positioning (GPS), and the internet.
