As a RF/Microwave engineer in the Microwave Systems Technology (MST) group (386F) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) I am mainly involved in the hardware design of millimeter- and submillimeter-wave radars and radiometers. These instruments are used for atmospheric remote sensing of planetary bodies as well as Earth science. I was previously a JPL postdoctoral fellow in the Submillimeter Wave Advanced Technologies (SWAT) group (386H).
My research interests include millimeter and sub-millimeter wave active and passive remote sensing technologies, radio wave propagation in random media and synthetic aperture radar design.
