Proven track record of innovation with multiple patent-pending technologies and extensive expertise in wideband, Meta surface, phased array, and low-SWaP antenna designs. Skilled in electromagnetic simulation (HFSS, CST, FEKO), RF circuit design, additive manufacturing, and advanced measurement techniques including near-field/far-field transformations and time-domain reflectometry. Adept at leading cross-functional teams, authoring technical documentation, and ensuring compliance with ISO 9001 and global standards. Strong background in new product introduction (NPI), design optimization, and collaboration with academia and international stakeholders. Demonstrated excellence in driving R&D initiatives from concept to commercialization using data-driven design, genetic algorithms, and rigorous performance validation.

20+ years of antenna, RF, and electromagnetic systems expertise spanning industry, academia, and applied research.

Hexagon Autonomy & Positioning (2021–2025): Led development of patent-pending metasurface and wideband antennas for GNSS, 5G, and UAVs; advanced additive manufacturing of volumetric antennas; collaborated with universities; authored multiple invention disclosures and patents.

Sinclair Technologies (2018–2021): Designed beam-steering, cross-polarized, and omnidirectional antennas for 5G, GNSS, and UAVs; pioneered collinear antenna arrays in narrow radomes (patent-pending); spearheaded NPI projects aligning with ISO 9001 standards, generating multimillion-dollar product lines.

University of Alberta (2017–2018, 2014–2016, 2008–2013): Research Associate, Postdoctoral Fellow, and Research Assistant roles focusing on ultra-wideband antennas, microwave imaging, tomography, and radar systems. Delivered pioneering designs such as circularly polarized UWB antennas and quasi-isotropic antennas (patents filed). Mentored graduate students and secured competitive research funding.

Institute for Infocomm Research (I²R), Singapore (2001–2008): Senior Research Officer driving R&D in UWB radar systems, RFID, and advanced sensing for defense and logistics. Transferred technology to integrators through documentation, training, and implementation.
