SUMMARY

1. Electrical engineering experience on Low Observable programs and structures
2. Hardware testing of Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM), Radar Absorbing Structures (RAS), Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS Systems)
3. Radar Cross Section data analysis
4. Method Of Moments and Physical Optics (PO) codes with 3D and 2D models
5. Development of airframe structures 
6. Working with microstrip patch antennas and other printed circuit antennas.  I developed an analysis code to predict the performance of microstrip fed slot antennas (using MOM). 
7. HFSS expert

• I performed numerical modeling using NEC Code to do both RCS prediction and antenna performance analysis. I also spent some time developing code to model reflector antenna performance.  This involved using GTD to predict the antennas aperture distribution in the near field and transforming to the far field (spherical near filed to far field).  I also supported an improvement program at the Bistatic RCS measurement facility. 
• I was involved in numerous Antenna modeling and measurement programs. In short almost every effort I was involved in at MIT Lincoln Lab was tied to antennas/ RCS work   I  was responsible for implementing the numerical RCS and antenna capabilities in our Group. 
• My antenna experience and systems knowledge were utilized by a group working with high dynamic range fiber optic links.  I ran numerous filed experiments using Aircraft to collect the propagation data.  Field experiments were also run aimed at determining the reflectivity of clutter environments. In short almost every effort I was involved in at MIT Lincoln Lab was tied to antennas/ RCS work .
