Consultant providing expertise in spectrum sharing studies and ITU-R compliance assessment.
- Wrote MATLAB scripts to support the development of software for spectrum sharing studies:
- Modeled multiple antenna patterns
- Modeled clutter loss
- Read USGS terrain elevation data between two locations and incorporated existing software modeling interference loss
- Calculated power received due to sea surface scattering between a terrestrial transmitter and a satellite
- Assessed ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union - Radiocommunication Sector) WRC-27 Agenda Items of all Working Groups and compiled potential risks to NOAA's systems
- Extracted systems' documentation from text files to a Microsoft Excel workbook using Python
Research Assistant - Ultrafast Optics and Optical Fiber Communications Laboratory; Principal Investigator at Purdue University (2025-02 – 2025-12)
Part-time research assistant working on ultrafast optics and optical fiber communications projects.
- Generated second harmonic photons using a PPLN waveguide after testing different PPLN chips at different temperatures and frequencies
- Constructed an optical testbed, then used the alignment stages to couple into an AlGaAs chip
- Wrote a MATLAB script to simulate second harmonic generation and filtering, and to calculate the Schmidt number
- Reconnected and tested an autocorrelator that was built in-house
- Checked on the team's laboratory safety training completion
Radio Frequency Engineer at eSimplicity, Inc. (2021-02 – 2023-05)
Full-time RF Engineer focused on radiocommunication systems simulation and compatibility studies.
- Simulated radiocommunication systems on Visualyse for sharing compatibility studies between the radiolocation service and radio astronomy, aeronautical radionavigation, and Fixed Satellite Service (FSS)
- Verified the link budget analysis manually and wrote a report describing separation distances needed to avoid harmful interference to Air Force systems
- Attended and monitored ITU-R Working Parties on remote sensing systems (7C), land mobile service (5A), HF systems (5C), and IMT systems (5D)
- Generated multiple models of antenna patterns using MATLAB for my team's and my studies
- Drew drive routes and calculated link budgets to determine the best locations to transmit a signal to measure clutter loss using USGS NLCD data, Google Earth, Google Maps, and QGIS
- Supervised two university-level interns, trained them to complete their tasks successfully, and taught them the basics of RF Engineering and MATLAB
Electrical Engineer at ERT, Inc. (2019-04 – 2020-03)
Full-time Electrical Engineer working on Radio Frequency Interference Monitoring System testing and evaluation.
- Participated in and presented the results of the first system capability test on the Radio Frequency Interference Monitoring System (RFIMS)
- Analyzed data from all tests and supported the search for the location of an interfering signal
- Identified and recommended areas of improvement in Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) test cases
- Mapped requirements to use cases for Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP)
- Participated in and helped create the Engineering Review Board (ERB) for the RFIMS
Projects in RF Circuit Design, Active and Passive Components at Purdue University (2025-08 – 2025-12)
Projects completed in a graduate course on RF Circuit Design at Purdue University.
- Designed a low noise amplifier and associated matching networks, then simulated the analog circuit and layout on Keysight ADS
- Designed both ideal and non-ideal microstrip Chebyshev filters, then simulated the analog circuit, layout, and performed an EM co-simulation on Keysight ADS
- Designed the analog circuit of a receiver chain and simulated it on Keysight ADS
- Designed the analog circuit of a matching network for an antenna and a load impedance and simulated it on Keysight ADS
