Intro

Just a small sample!

Greetings!!! and welcome to a version of my social face

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at the University of Kansas. I hope to finish my program by May 2025. I present a few of my interests, quantified, for starters.

Bon appetite!

Learning - side effect of 26+ years of school90%
If I hear the word 'Radar'99%
Cooking - mostly the items from SouthEast central coast of India50%
Talking - includes soft and strong humor80%
Plants - garden or farm100%
Hiking - I can do this all day!50%
Weight lifting - I plan to lift Mjölnir one day42.3%
Programming - %% hara.m %% ice_peak_MATLAB = membrane(1,161);99%
Climate Change - I start like Bernie but Hulk takes over10%

Experience

It's Radar Science

10+ years @CReSIS

A few weeks @Ainstein

A few months @Antenna Res. Lab

Signal and Data Processing

Team Radar Software!

Working on a radiometric calibration problem with my Ph. D. advisor Dr. John Paden. Developing new tools for our CReSIS toolbox.

Engineering Intern

Team Radar Software!

Algorithm development and a new MATLAB toolbox to single-look process the data from Proof-of-Concept automotive radars.

Research Engineer

Team Radar Hardware!

Lab tests, hardware dBugging, field work, deployments, and a tiny part of the NASA OIB. Operation IceBridge is the 'largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice ever'.

Masters Thesis

Team Radar Hardware!

Advised by Dr. Fernando and Dr. Paden.

Worked on a modular design and integration for the NASA Global Hawk Snow Radar system. Developed a novel ultra-wideband frequency multiplier and a few types of bandpass filters from VHF to V band. Ping me if you actually read it.

Works

Will upload soon... ThanKU for your patience :-)

NSIDC portal

Radar Data Products

Snow Radar data products for Operation IceBridge Spring 2017, 2018, and 2019 deployments to Greenland (and a few Arctic regions)

Microwave Journal

Alumina Filters

Nice tutorial on a simple CAD+CAM design process. First-Pass Design of Ultra-Wideband Microwave and mmWave Filters for Multistage Frequency Multiplication.

Miscellaneous

Designs+Fabs

Altium schematics and layouts for PCBs (RF+MW+Power), HFSS and ADS Electromagnetic simulation workspaces.
