PhD in Electrical Engineering
University of Kansas
Set the direction. Build what matters. Lead it through.
I connect the science behind an idea, the engineering needed to realize it, and the strategy that gives it purpose.
Open to faculty, research, and industry roles in EE & CS.
I work across the full sensor lifecycle: RF and millimeter-wave hardware, airborne radar integration, signal processing, calibration, and scientific software. My work includes leading radar hardware for three NASA Operation IceBridge deployments in the Arctic and Antarctic, engineering microwave hardware for the Global Hawk snow radar, and building petabyte-scale processing and simulation tools for Open Polar Radar.
My doctoral research resolved a 30-year radiometric calibration challenge for Operation IceBridge data. Today I bring that systems perspective to power-plant estimating and engineering automation at Kiewit, develop sensor fusion and edge AI through 4cThreat, and teach radar from first principles through Radar School.
