SUMMARY

Ph.D.-level electrical engineer with proven communication skills and a demonstrated ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment within a team framework. Recent career experience in diverse fields: semiconductor fabrication, biochemical sensing, and nuclear power/space propulsion.

EDUCATIONUniversity of Virginia Charlottesville, VA

Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering, August 2005 8/97 - 8/04Dissertation work involved design and construction of superconducting receiver arrays operating at 1.5 THz, intended to fly on NASA’s SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) mission. These were the first terahertz receiver arrays to incorporate hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixers. Louis T. Rader Award for Excellence in Electrical Engineering, May 2000.Extensive coursework including microwave engineering, electromagnetic field theory, high-frequency devices, microwave amplifier design, solid state physics, semiconductor theory, and digital signal processing.
