Dorian Schweitzer was an instructor at Starfleet Academy in the 24th century.
History[]
At Starfleet Academy, Dr. Schweitzer lectured his class, which included a young Harry Kim, of how he compared homing in on a distant signal to creating a sculpture from a block of marble. According to him, the trick is in viewing a clouded signal as a buried structure. Like the sculptor who chips away everything from a block of marble except his statue, one must eliminate every signal except the one they're looking for.
At the time, Harry Kim thought the analogy was far-fetched, but after months serving on the USS Voyager he'd come to see the truth of it.
In 2371, Kim looked back on Dr. Schweitzer's lesson when he uncovered a Sperian distress call. (VOY novel: Incident at Arbuk)
