I am a Research Physicist and Engineer with a dual background in Physics and Engineering, specializing in high-performance radar systems, RF environmental surveying, and complex signal processing. With experience at NASA and the Florida Space Institute (FSI), I bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical hardware implementation, delivering high-precision solutions for demanding technical challenges. Whether you need advanced simulations in Python/MATLAB, FPGA development on Xilinx platforms, or hardware prototyping for RF systems, I bring a rigorous, research-backed approach to every project. Core Competencies - Radar & RF Systems: Design of coherent combining systems (up to 40 GHz/10 kW), passive radar feasibility studies, and antenna array deployment. - FPGA & Embedded Systems: Programming Xilinx ZCU111 and RFSoC 4x2 utilizing the CASPER toolflow for environmental data acquisition. -Signal Processing: Spectrogram generation, cross-correlation analysis for RFI identification, and noise floor characterization using Python and MATLAB. -Simulation & Modeling: Developing machine learning algorithms for satellite data (GOES-R) and simulating gravimetric sensor environments for UAVs. -Prototyping: CAD design (Autodesk Inventor), sensor fabrication, and hardware validation in extreme environments. Professional Highlights -NASA: Developed drone detection and tracking systems using Software Defined Radio (SDR) and the Signal Hound API, creating live spectrograms to secure airspace. -Florida Space Institute: Led the research and requirements definition for a 256-element RF survey system with extreme sensitivity (-200 dBm), delivering critical insights to government customers. -NEXT Lab: Prototyped ultrasonic sensors for high-temperature molten salt systems, validating designs for nuclear energy applications. I am available for complex engineering projects that require a deep understanding of electromagnetics, data analysis, and hardware integration. Let's discuss how I can apply this technical expertise to your next project.
