About the Author
Gordon Cameron is a Physics graduate of the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He has 25 years engineering experience in both R&D and high volume manufacturing in the semiconductor industry, working in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States. He has published many technical papers on plasma etch systems used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. As a principal engineer, his main focus has been on technical problem solving and troubleshooting. It was his role to solve engineering problems when engineers were "stumped" or showed no signs of making progress. Sometimes teams of engineers had been working on a problem for months, or a solution was needed urgently to keep production going; in every case the problem was solved quickly and without fuss using the systematic problem solving and creative thinking tools described in his books. His systematic methods are based on a career of applied repeated practical success in an intensive "hands on" engineering environment rather than simply only being a theorist. During his 20 years with INTEL Corporation, he taught numerous problem-solving and TRIZ classes to engineers. Elected President of the Arizona TRIZ Association in 2007, Gordon has pursued the further development and application of TRIZ and other approaches to systematic creative problem solving.
Gordon's first book "TRIZICS Teach yourself TRIZ, how to invent, innovate and solve 'impossible' technical problems systematically" continues to be a best-seller on TRIZ (the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). In addition to his success as an author, Gordon provides engineering problem-solving training and consulting services to industry.
