Experience Summary: Currently a Principal Research Engineer and Head of the Signal Processing Branch, Radar Systems Division in the Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory of the Georgia Tech Research Institute, engaged in market development; teaching in the fields of digital signal processing and radar signal processing; and research in weather radar and radar imaging. From 1993 to 1995, served under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) program as a Program Manager for Advanced Signal Processing in the Electronic Systems Technology Office of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) with responsibility for direction of the $150 million Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program, an ARPA/Tri-Service effort to develop new computer-aided design (CAD) tools, processor architectures, and design and manufacturing methodologies for embedded signal processors. Responsibilities included obtaining, defending, and managing program budget; determining program technical direction and strategy; solicitation and evaluation of research proposals; management of the tri-Service support team; and development of new program concepts for ARPA. Also participated in the management of Technology Reinvestment Program projects in aircraft landing systems and electronic commerce. From 1988 to 1993, Head of the Signal Processing Branch in the Modeling and Analysis Laboratory of the Georgia Tech Research Institute, involved in internal and external research in digital signal processing for radar systems. Research topics included Doppler beam sharpening and deconvolution-based radar resolution enhancement techniques, real-aperture imaging radar for landing systems, airborne MTI, airborne windshear detection by radar, radar processor architecture, and sonar signal classification using fractal techniques. The windshear processor work led to a NASA Group Achievement Award in 1993. Also co-developed and taught graduate Electrical Engineering course in radar fundamentals. At Lockheed, developed a data acquisition system for tower testing of an imaging MMW radar and radiometer, developed novel techniques for obtaining superresolution with noncoherent or forward-looking sensors, and led the architectural design team for a VHSIC-class fast Fourier transform VLSI chip. Chaired Lockheed Corporate Signal Processing Task Force in 1987. At Georgia Tech during the period 1982-1985, was project manager for a series of contracts related to millimeter wave seeker systems. Developed simulation of polarimetric seeker detection of stationary ground targets in land clutter and analyzed techniques for using terrain features as countermeasures. Developed seeker concept analysis and trade studies for a long-range anti-armor application. Developed signal processor loss budgets and waveform requirements for a large ground-based phased array radar system. Evaluated high resolution stationary target identification algorithms and analyzed Doppler spectrum characteristics of moving ground targets for identification potential. At ESL, updated and revised simulations of emitter classification algorithms and developed computer models of RF activity environments. Co-developer and lecturer of ECE6272, "Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing." Lecturer for EE6413, "Digital Filters," in 1995 and 1997. Co-Developer of and Lecturer in Georgia Tech Short Courses "Radar Signal Processing" and "Modern Synthetic Aperture Imaging". Past Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and past Chairman of the Atlanta Section of the IEEE.
