Primary Skills:

Statistical Channel Modeling:

• Small Scale Fading

o Used Rayleigh fading to find expected received signal strength at receiver.

o Modeled channel with the Nakagami m-distribution for line of sight component fading.

• Large Scale Fading

o Employed log-normal fading to find distances covered by RF signals in free space.

• Used link budget analysis in noise and interference limited systems to find power of signals needed to reach receiver.

Digital Signal Processing

• Well versed in a wide variety of channel estimation techniques such as correlation, least squares, maximum likelihood,

maximum a posteriori, and minimum mean square error.

• Comprehensive knowledge of multiple equalization algorithms to reduce ISI throughout the receiver.

Modulation/Demodulation

• Designed systems with BPSK and QPSK including knowledge of QAM, GMSK, MSK, and PAM.

• Experience computing bit error probabilities at demodulation depending on modulation schemes.

Diversity and Combining

• Utilized methods in receivers such as MRC, EGC, and switched combining.

• Understanding of diversity by exploiting different methods such as frequency, time, and space by using multiple

transmitters/signals/codes.

Impedance Matching

• Exercised matching impedances of s-parameters in class A, AB, and C amplifiers.

RF Communications Design

• Designed a block diagram for a cell phone transceiver.

• Created the transceiver from simple circuits up (filters, amplifiers, limiters, phase splitters).

• Had requirements for the system and met those mathematically.

o Noise figure, receiver gain, transmitter gain, SNR, spurious responses, IP3, L-R L-I isolations.

o Extrapolated information from similar transceivers to have realistic requirements.

• Used online retailers for all of the theoretical values to reach the requirements.

• Took values from current service providers to have a realistic transceiver.

Computer Skills:

Labview

• Built a circuit to take a signal from a function generator as input and output an audio sound.

• Used labview for digital signal processing on the function generator signal.

MatLab

• Wrote a program to solve mazes of variable input.

• Employed the right hand “wall follower” algorithm for solving mazes.

C, C++

• Tested and wrote code on a classical ionization experiment.

• Exported values to Excel to use graphical analysis.

• Experience debugging code by using Klocwork Insight.

• Created solutions and GUI for RF engineering testing programs.

Microsoft Programs

• Well versed in Excel, Word, Outlook, and Blend.

• Extensive use of Visual Studio for all debugging and solutions.

Research Experience:

University of Delaware, Newark, DE

Research Assistant, Spintronics 12/2010- 06/2011

• This research was granted to find a smaller antenna than currently exists in cell phones

• Created sputtered chips alongside Dr. Xin

• Utilized photolithography to etch and sputter the chips

• Created a near field experiment to test the amplification of the chips

University of Delaware, Newark, DE

Research Assistant, AMO Physics 6/2009-9/2010

• Initially took data on the electron rescattering effect in high coulomb potentials.

• Designed and created a multi-pass to amplify the laser beam up to 50x

• Operated an oscilloscope to maximize gain

• Authored a multi-pass standard operations procedure for use in the lab

• Used the Runge-Kutta method (RK4) for numerical analysis in the classical ionization experiment

• Eventually found an α suitable for a variety of atoms

Work Experience:

St. Catherine’s of Siena Medical Center, Smithtown, NY

Clerical Assistant 6/2011-Current

• Work alongside physicians and nurses in ER/CCU/ICU

• Reviewed and corrected physician orders, and managed patient locations

• Exercised interpersonal skills to efficiently relate information between physicians and staff

Motorola Solutions, Holtsville, NY 6/2014-9/2014

Test Engineer

• Debugged main WLAN program using Klocwork Insight in C/C++

• Ported over testing program WaveAgent from WIN32 to both WM6.5 and WCE7

• Coded on top of the original WaveAgent program to add a simple GUI

• Created three VMs for Ubuntu 32-bit, Ubuntu 64-bit, and Windows 64-bit

o Ubuntu 32/64-bit is an environment that can run Hostapd to create remote access points.

o Windows 64-bit is a lightweight environment for creating Klocwork builds for Fusion.
