Technology specialist in the high-tech patent litigation department.

Designing large scale electrical power distribution systems spanning various commercial applications and needs. In my time as an engineer, I oversaw extensive field work and interdisciplinary coordination, as well as crafting comprehensive design documents for engineering projects.

My senior design project was an experiment in the field of Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting. My teammate and I, Cody Dutra, did extensive research in the practicality and application of RFEH and designed our own working circuit with a productive outcome. Our design consisted of dual 1/4 wave dipole antennas, which were responsible for collecting the ambient electromagnetic waves. Because we had two antennas, we had two waves in the circuit. we used an inductor to phase shift one of the waves 90 degrees for improved rectification. Next we used an impedance matching design between the circuit and the antenna in order to create maximum power transfer between the two.The circuit required rectification and voltage manipulation because the voltage received was not enough to charge the storage element fully. The power conditioning involves the use of a voltage booster IC that is capable of outputting specific and regulated voltage, depending on the storage elements specifications.The conditioning circuit also uses smart switching, to automatically alternate the power between the direct RFE and the storage elements power, depending on the needs of the application. The stored energy can be called upon when at least one peripheral is connected.After our design was completed and functional, we wrote a patent application report. Although the design was not qualified to receive a patent, it was great experience in an overview of the process itself. Our mock application included a full report, along with claims and potential classifications.

Throughout the majority of my college experience at Wentworth, I was fortunate enough to have a work study role that was a constructive asset to my undergraduate education. I was the lab attendant for the main electrical engineering labs on campus. I was there to provide equipment and components, as well as knowledgeable assistance to the other students.Aside from helping my fellow classmates, I would often work closely with professors to get their upcoming labs ready.
