\textsl {Engineer---Communication Systems}

Member of the Advanced Communications Research group.  Algorithm
development, simulation, and analysis of digital communications
systems.  Particular focus: orthogonal frequency-division
multiplexing (OFDM), equalization and multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, power amplifier linearization,
and spatial processing.  Funding agencies include the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Office of Naval
Research (ONR).

\textsl {Postdoctoral Scholar}

Primary researcher for ONR 6.2 project ``Advanced Robust
Modulation (ARM), Phase II'' in collaboration with Nova
Engineering.  The goal of this ongoing project is to upgrade an
existing small-form-factor software defined radio (SDR), running
the OFDM Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) component of the
Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), to support an additional
constant envelope OFDM (CE-OFDM) mode.

\textsl {Graduate Student Researcher}

\textbf {\textsl {\footnotesize Dissertation: ``Constant Envelope
OFDM Phase Modulation,'' 2005}}

\vskip 0.25em

Research, funded by the Center for Wireless Communications,
focused on the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem
associated with OFDM systems.  Developed a solution, constant
envelope OFDM, that transforms the OFDM signal prior to
amplification and inverse transforms the signal at the receiver.
Designed and analyzed CE-OFDM transmitter and receiver.
Developed theoretical foundation for the format including signal
space properties, performance of optimum receiver, signal
spectrum properties, and techniques to combat effects of wireless
channels.

\vskip 0.5em

Active participant in Phase I of the ARM project, that was also
funded by ONR as a 6.1 effort.

\textsl {Intern}

Worked with naval engineers on the theoretical aspects of
CE-OFDM.  Helped develop simulation software to validate
analytical results.  Worked on modeling power amplifiers and
wireless channels.
