I lead a multi-disciplined team developing advanced Radars for L4 autonomous vehicles. My team and I have developed the Radars that guided the Lexus, Prototype, and Pacifica vehicles. We've customized the use of automotive radar to the needs of these vehicles and created fundamentally new operating modes and capabilities.

I work on the Self-Driving Car team, leading a team developing advanced sensors with improved range, resolution, and tracking ability to aid the vehicle's view of it's environment. My major contributions have been helping assemble the team, developing the product roadmap, designing the hardware platforms, setting up the production and test infrastructure, and deploying 100s of these sensors to the current fleets.
