About me
Rina Molari-Korgel has been involved with portable industrial metrology since 1983, after graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering in Surveying and Photogrammetry from California State University at Fresno. Her aerospace experience with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin introduced her to the world of manufacturing and assembly just as computer and cyber technology turbo-boosted metrology development. During this time, Rina has worked through the evolution of metrology instruments, such as transits and levels, theodolites (surveying and industrial), photogrammetry, straight-line lasers, portable measuring arms, laser radar systems, and laser trackers. Rina has also spent 12 years with Leica Geosystems and Hexagon Metrology, where she performed demonstrations, conducted training and ran measurement contract tasks from quoting to data acquisition and analysis.
Rina has been involved with CMSC since 1993, and has held the appointed position of Treasurer on the Executive Committee along with the position of Chairman in 2006, 2008 and 2016. In the advancement of the CMS, Rina brought the premier issue of The Journal of the CMSC to its membership in 2006. This publication started a new tradition of continuous improvement of the Society to a truly professional standing.
