For over 26 years at Lockheed Martin Corporation (and the heritage General Electric), my work has addressed research & development, modeling and simulation, and systems analysis. More specifically, this includes the design and test of adaptive beamformers, space-time adaptive processors (STAP), interference cancellation algorithms, and non-Gaussian detectors for clutter rejection. I hold 5 US patents and have numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Electrical Engineering

My Doctoral thesis addressed detection theory and non-Gaussian clutter rejection
