Advisory Board Member – Engineering, Spectrum Sharing & Wireless Coexistence
Summary
I work in theoretical and system design problems for electromagnetic signaling.
Experience
NIST, Research Staff , Boulder, Colorado 2015 – PresentWorking to build robust measurements to assess of wireless spectrum sharing. This includes designing testbeds built with heterogeneous electromagnetic environments, RF test instruments, networking infrastructure, and consumer electronics. I work closely with small teams of federal employees, postdoctoral researchers, students, and external collaborators. We share results publicly with industry, government, and other users through in refereed journals, conference proceedings, and NIST technical notes.
FIRST RF Corporation, RF Engineer 2013 – 2015Designed antenna elements and beamforming networks for shaped-beam antennas ground antennas. Integrated and tested active electronically-scanned antenna (AESA) transmit and receive arrays.
Phase IV Engineering, RF and Analog Engineer 2012 – 2013Designed, integrated, and tested RFID-enabled passive wireless sensors for trains, bearings, household appliances, family planning, satellite launch vehicles, and the international space station.
University of Colorado – CoSGC, CIPS, then CIRES, Undergraduate research, engineering, and technical support 2001 – 2007Ground station implementation and spaceborne automation of a satellite communication system; IT for plasma physics; stringing up antennas for wind-profiling radars with burs in my socks.
