Modeled and simulated building distribution networks for AC and hypothetical DC buildings. The simulations contain detailed models for converters, wiring, batteries, solar power systems, and loads. They are performed with annual data in order to determine when the DC building outperforms the AC building and by how much.

Developed an integrated LED driver. The driver uses a unique combination of the multilevel inverter, sigma delta modulator, and switch capacitor technologies. Innovative topologies and controls allow for power factor correction, power ripple cancellation, dimming, galvanic isolation, and small form factor.

Designed and prototyped a new type of display technology.

Developed the LED driver project (above) on a high voltage integrated circuit (IC) process. Involves the TI IC design process and numerous testing and failure analysis procedures.

Cleared for a secret security clearance (fall 2009).Developed and tested a miniature optical payload for the Raven unmanned air vehicle, which can provide high-resolution imagery for detection of improvised explosive devices. Required interfacing multiple COTS cameras with an embedded computer, modifying the camera driver, testing and implementing image-stitching algorithms to integrate the imagery from the multiple cameras, and designing and fabricating the multi-camera mount.Worked on a signal processing approach to allow simultaneous transmit-and-receive mode operation in RF communication systems. The approach uses multiple transmit antennas and time-delay adaptive beam forming to cancel the transmitted signal at the receive antenna. A channel estimation algorithm recursively characterizes the complex scattering paths between transmit and receive antennas, optimizing cancellation of the transmitted signal at the receiver.
