Experience  Summary

GT101

Over 30 years experience in research, development and analysis of digital and statistical signal processing systems and advanced techniques for radar, sonar, communications, and pattern recognition. He is currently leading efforts to develop (i) a real-time radio frequency interference (RFI) extractor using a 30-Sharc COTS multi-processor, (ii) a cellular base station multi-antenna signal processor to increase capacity through frequency reuse and (iii) software to produce high-quality focussed SAR images in difficult imaging conditions. He has led advanced studies in adaptive space-time processing for clutter and jammer suppression for airborne radar, adaptive mitigation of HF ionospheric propagation effects in Over-the-Horizon (OTH) radar, fast extraction of narrowband interference in ultra-wideband radar, and high maneuver Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Inverse SAR (ISAR) image formation.

203

• Familiar with all aspects of Bus subsystems electrical design, including EPS topologies and regulation methods. Experienced in operational and design aspects of baseband TT&C, solar arrays, batteries, and power electronics.
• Experienced designer of spacecraft DC/DC converters, and battery and solar cell test equipment.
• Performed design reviews and critiques for both domestic and international communications satellite projects, working with most major spacecraft contractors, including Aerospatiale, LMC, Hughes, Loral, and MBB.

210

Skilled Program Manager and Systems Engineer with over 30 years experience on many large aerospace programs and satellites which are in service today. He has a complete grasp of the design, reliability and product assurance, manufacturing and test needs for long life products. Extensive experience in providing management and working-level help to clients with new or unexpected problems stemming from growth, peak loads, or unfamiliar requirements in the aerospace business. He has worked with companies and governments in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, China, Japan, France, Germany, and Israel on both technical and business issues bearing on satellites and their commercial applications. In addition to his technical publications, has written and lectured extensively on project management.

220

Antenna design specialist with expertise in spacecraft RF design with over 37 years of related antenna experience. Has the detailed knowledge and experience to identify design risks and key issues relative to antenna RF design and act on them in an expeditious manner.

240

Provide engineering expertise for magnetics design and/or analysis in space-related power supplies. Extensive experience in the design of the magnetics and the packaging involved in high power, high density, high frequency switch-mode power supplies. Special attention given to thermal management in these types of power supplies including the design of cold plates for conduction cooled systems, and the refrigeration systems involved. Experienced in both military and space-related communications equipment.

301

• Experienced in systems engineering management; design, project and systems engineering; satellite integration, test, launch and mission operations
• Prior to leaving Lockheed was the Proposal Manager and lead technical negotiator for ChinaStar 1, first ever US manufacturer sale of a turnkey satellite system to mainland China, and first competitive sale of Lockheed’s new A2100 satellite.
