    University professor in the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department. My research interests are in physical-layer security

    error-control coding

    information theory

    telecommunications

    signal processing

    and sports performance analytics. I have taught courses in signal processing

    information theory

    coding theory

    satellite communications

    and probability and statistics.

    Assistant Professor

    Brigham Young University

    Developed hardware and software for eavesdropping on NFC peer-to-peer communications between two smart phones. The eavesdropper demonstrates the benefits of using Whisper codes for privacy on transmitted data.

    Colorado Area

    Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCCS.

    Assistant Professor

    University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

    Studied and published novel results on low-density parity-check codes with cryptography for physical-layer security.\nCollaborated with graduate students and faculty from 9 different countries.

    University of Porto

    FEUP

    Portugal

    Summer Intern

    Worked in the imaging department. Wrote the C++ code for GPIB communications between the imager testers and an automatic probe machine. The end result was automating the capability of the probe machine to test all die on a wafer without the necessity of a user touching down manually on each die.

    Micron Technology

    Teaching Assistant

    Worked as a teaching assistant for 3 semesters for the course: \"Introduction to Signal Processing.\" I was the head TA of roughly 10 for the last 2 semesters. As such

    I oversaw much of the lab portion of the class

    organized and taught help sessions twice a week

    and oversaw grading of homework and laboratory exercises.

    Georgia Institute of Technology

    Summer Intern

    Worked in the antifuse group. Initiated and completed the design of a data sorting/displaying program.

    Micron Technology

    Communications Engineering Intern

    Completed individual project of modeling the physical layer of a future combat communications system using Matlab.\nDocumented and presented research results of expected system performance.
