Design and optimization of cutting edge deployable satellite antennas, including traditional reflector antennas, reflect arrays, and transmit arrays. Design and analysis of radiating elements for large antenna arrays and feed arrays. Building and testing of prototype antennas to verify antenna designs; testing includes use and operation of a vector near-field range for large antenna systems, developing and operating a compact near-field range, as well as simpler s-parameter measurements for smaller antennas and rf pcb's using a network analyzer. Applications include space based radar and satellite imaging.

3 person project for building an an-echoic chamber to characterize the radiation pattern of different antennas. We have successfully created a spherical scan of horn antennas, and are working to improve the accuracy of our measurements, as well as researching and implementing a near to far field conversion for low frequency antennas. Other work includes reprogramming and re-wiring 6 axis motor control system and creating a schematic in autoCAD.

As an engineering intern for CSU's radio station I filed and organized records as required by the FCC, wrote technical training/operating manuals for the radio station as well as its equipment, and used Excel to organize the stations media presence. I also undertook general organizational and repair tasks as necessary.

Delivered pizza, greeted and attended to customers, responsible for washing dishes and preparing/stocking ingredients for the next business day.

Lead a 3 person design project with the goal of designing and implementing a solar panel that could track the sun using a micro controller and a servo motor. Personally designed the power delivery and motor system, as well as the light sensor system, and assisted in writing the code for the micro controller system. Project was successfully presented to professors and other ECE department faculty members.
