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.
