Falls Church, Virginia, US

Research and design with primary focus on antennas and RF systems. Specifically novel antenna systems integrated with conformal and low RCS techniques and the modeling of such antennas. I was instrumental in maturing the computational electromagnetic modeling capabilities of the group, specifically platform-sensitive installed performance analysis of.

Denver, Colorado, US

Investigated performance enhancements of broadband spiral antennas and antennas with unique polarization characteristics. Extensive 3D modeling and simulation using Ansoft's HFSS is routine. Also measurements of fabricated antennas within anechoic chambers is common. I was also involved in an unrelated DARPA funded project on 3D-MERFS technology in.
