PROJECTS

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Communication System

I have extensive experience in Ku-band phased array systems, gained through my tenure at renowned companies like Hughes Network Systems. My contributions spanned across multiple facets of terminal development, ranging from intricate work on the phased array panel to the meticulous design and optimization of the up and downconverters.

RF Frontend for L-band Satellite Communication

In this project, I worked on an L-band RF frontend for satellite communication systems. Additionally, I spearheaded the design and implementation of production automation processes, collaborating closely with our software and mechanical team to devise concepts, create test fixtures, and develop the necessary software infrastructure.

Microwave Plasma Radiator

In this project, I spearheaded the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of Microwave Plasma Radiators operating within the ISM band. My work encompassed a diverse spectrum of power levels and working gases, including but not limited to air and argon.

Quantum Computing

I've had the privilege of delving into various aspects of this captivating technology. My journey has taken me from the intricate processes of nanofabrication and precise measurements to the innovative realm of RF quantum control systems. Leveraging cutting-edge platforms such as the Xilinx RFSoC , I’ve been leading efforts in developing sophisticated RF quantum control systems that push the boundaries of what's possible in this field.

Ground Penetrating Radar

In this project I designed, and implemented a ground penetrating radar from scratch. This low weight compact system is used on unmanned aerial vehicles for structural health analysis such as the bridges. This work was supported by University of Illinois Chicago, Illinois department of transportation, and Discovery partners institute (DPI) Chicago.
