4th year PhD candidate @ The University of Texas at Austin - Cockrell School of Engineering - ECE department
Technical Background:
- wireless communications - low/high frequency, wideband/narrowband, multi-user, MIMO, & 4G
- electromagnetics - antenna design, test, and measurement, waveguides, metamaterials
- circuits - analog and radio frequency, millimeter-wave, and sub-terahertz frequency
- phased arrays and beam forming
- channel sounding and propagation
- communication system architecture
- modulation, estimation, detection
Supervising professor: Professor Theodore S. Rappaport
Research Organization: Wireless Networking and Communications Group
(WNCG).
Research Abstract: My research work pushes the limits of wireless
connectivity by creating next generation high-speed wireless
communication devices. These devices transfer gigabits per second
(billions of
bits every second) of data over several-meter range (~30 feet). These data rates far surpass today's current wireless technology by orders
of magnitude. The
carrier frequency is 57-64 GHz (gigahertz) i.e. the "60
GHz band." I am using CMOS technology to create high performing
semiconductor devices while minimizing device cost. CMOS is an
inexpensive fabrication technology used worldwide to create digital
circuits such as computer processors. This new wireless technology can exceed wired devices
in cost, power, and speed and has various applications in cellular, tablets, multimedia players, desktop and mobile computing, home entertainment, sensors, vehicles, radar, military, health and many other applications yet to be known.

Updates from 2010-2011
The 2010-2011 school year has been an eventful one. Had several papers accepted to conferences and prestigious journals. The conferences attended included the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference in Ottawa, Canada in Sept. 2010, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio in Oct. 2010, and the IEEE International Solid State and Circuits Conference in San Francisco, California, in Feb. 2011. I was also privileged to visit MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts in March 2011 as a possible future employer. MIT LL is a federally-funded R&D center with an amazing facility and amazing technical staff solving some of the greatest national security problems. In Oct. 2010 and Sept. 2011, I attended the Marconi Society Symposiums ...

2010 Summer Internship - ETS-Lindgren
This past summer I was privileged with a summer internship at ETS-Lindgren, the leader in wireless solutions, antenna calibration and testing, RF/acoustic anechoic chambers, EMC, electromagnetic field probes, and many other things. ETS-Lindgren is a solid company headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas, USA (just outside Austin) with several global offices and provides excellent, high-quality products, services, and solutions to many tech companies worldwide. This was an amazing learning experience for me and I'm very grateful to their staff of engineers for allowing me this oppurtunity. I was able to learn a lot on RF chamber design and antenna testing for next generation wireless devices, and was able to contribute to their measurement and testing efforts ...
