• Ultrascale+ RFSoC and 7 series experience• Responsible for designing the back-end for synthetic aperture radars including digital hardware, FPGA firmware, and embedded software. • Develop algorithms including real-time motion compensation that closes the loop between a GPS/INS and an antenna mounted on a gimbal.• Create GUI software for command and control of the radar, as well as image exploitation.• Redesigned radar processing to use NVidia CUDA for a massive performance increase.• System level delay line testing and integration of both the digital back-end and RF front-end.• Operate the system in the field for data collections and customer demonstrations. • Research and development of new technologies for use in future systems.• Manage projects and schedules.

• Led team of 4 research fellows to implement cryptographically strong SHA-3 Hash Function candidates in VHDL targeted for a Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA.• Optimized designs to meet area constraints.• Submitted 'Hardware Evaluation of SHA-3 Hash Function Candidates' paper to CHES.

• Instructed science and computer classes at I.S.318 in Brooklyn, NY 20+ hours a week.• Taught students about robotics, mechatronics, and engineering with goal of sparking interest in math and science.• Coached the FIRST Robotics team that won the borough championship.• Created lesson plans for teachers to introduce computer software and electronics to middle school students.• Included the BASIC STAMP into a 6th grade computer class.• Funded graduate research in hardware encryption.

• Designed a testbench for inducing errors into an H.264 video stream using realistic network statistics from CDLs (common data links).• Extensive research into the H.264 encoding scheme and slice groups.• Updated NISTNET to meet project needs.• Automated objective testing of loss-induced video streams with VQM (Video Quality Metric) software.• Developed software for subjective testing of loss-induced video streams for a joint Telecordia project.
