Leading the development of an ultra-fast battery charger for electric vehicles under a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Saratoga, California, United States

Developed wireless power transfer circuits and electromagnetic tracking systems for a proprietary product under development in the Silicon Valley.

Fairmont, West Virginia, United States

Served as Principal Investigator for technology developments including: an electric propulsion system for deep space travel, a lightweight electronic transformer for emergency response, a high-power underwater acoustic generator for diver interdiction, and a compact high-current bunched electron gun.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States

Served as a particle accelerator engineer with specialization in radio-frequency systems on the Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Batavia, Illinois, United States

Developed and tested novel experimental devices including a microwave heated centrifuge for petroleum recovery, a high-power cryogenic microwave window, a microwave/vacuum press for high-speed drying of lumber, and a bunched-electron-beam source.

Batavia, Illinois, United States

Devised a novel signal matching method for tuning linear particle accelerators that has been adopted at several particle accelerator facilities around the world.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

- Invented a novel plasma coupler for heating fusion plasmas in controlled fusion experiments. The basic coupler concept is currently being applied on a grand scale on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). - Discovered ion heating in a controlled fusion plasma at high harmonics of the ion-cyclotron frequency. - Devised a novel waveguide coupler for plasma heating that has been adopted in several fusion reactor designs.
