WORK EXPERIENCE:
Mar 2000-To Date Chief, Antenna and Optical Systems Branch, NASA Glenn Research Center
Manage the workforce, plan and directs the antenna research and technology development efforts of the
NASA Glenn Research Center’s Communications, Instrumentation, and Controls Division. Responsible for the
planning and implementation of research and technology programs in the areas of design and testing of
antenna technology and RF subsystems for space and ground based communications applications. Primary
areas of emphasis are Advanced Antenna Technology, RF & Optical Propagation, RF/Optical Hybrid Antenna
Apertures, Cryoelectronics, Nanoelectronics, and RF Telemetry for Bio-MEMS Sensors and Actuators in
support of NASA mission.
June 1999-Mar 2000 Electronics Engineer, Electron Beam Technology Branch, NASA Glenn Research Center
Lead of research team responsible for the development of ferroelectric thin film-based tunable microwave
components such as filters, resonators, phase shifters, oscillators, etc. intended for integration into advanced
communication systems for satellite and ground-based applications.
Aug 1998-June 1999 NASA Administrator’s Fellow &Visiting Professor, Department of Physics and
Electronics, University of Puerto Rico-Humacao Campus (UPRH)
Responsible for planning, developing, coordinating, advocating, and implementing initiatives to foster
collaborations between NASA, UPRH, and the University of Puerto Rico System.
Mar 1991- Aug 1998 Electronics Engineer, Solid State Technology Branch and Electron Beam Technology
Branch, NASA Lewis Research Center
Responsible for the investigation and analysis of the millimeter and microwave properties of High-TransitionTemperature–Superconductor
(HTS) thin films and their potential use in advanced microwave
communications components for space systems applications. Responsible for the development of cryogenic
characterization techniques to investigate the low temperature properties of the following microwave
2
components: HTS-based passive microwave components, semiconductor active components,
superconductor/semiconductor, and superconductor/ferroelectric components, aiming at optimizing the
performance of discrete components, subsystems and systems. Established testing facility for the microwave
characterization of HTS thin films, which resulted in faster, less expensive, and more complete
characterization process than those in place at the time of the innovation. Developed cryogenic calibration
standard/test fixture for the fast and accurate “in-situ” characterization of planar microwave components.
Developed proposal, obtained approval, and managed a Non-Reimbursable Space Act Agreement (SAA) with
Superconducting Core Technologies, Golden, CO., for the development of tunable
superconductor/ferroelectric microwave devices. Developed proposal, obtained approval, and managed a
Nonreimbursable SAA with Space Systems/Loral, Palo Alto, CA., to develop (HTS,Metal)/Dielectric miniaturized
multilayer filters for satellite communications. Recipient of NASA Lewis Research Center Team Achievement
Award for critical contributions to the development of a Bioengineering Initiative at NASA-LeRC. Served as
Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) for several Small Business Innovative Research’s (SBIR)
phase I and II contracts. Inventor or co-inventor of three invention disclosures in the areas of tunable
microwave components and cryogenic characterization of microwave circuits. Mentor/research supervisor of
college level engineering student summer interns, visiting faculty fellows, and junior colleagues. Recipient of
NASA Special Act Award for critical contributions to the design, fabrication, test, and on-time delivery of
components for the prototype of a superconductor receiver/downconverter for the Naval Research
laboratory’s HTSSE-II program.
Jan 1987-Mar 1991 Research Assistant, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio
Implemented an experimental technique for measuring the dielectric permittivity of novel dielectric
substrates at microwave frequencies and cryogenic temperatures. Designed, fabricated, and tested V-Band
(60 GHz) resonant cavities for measuring the surface resistance (Rs) of High temperature Superconducting
(HTS) thin films. Performed the first Rs reported measurement of YBCO HTS thin films at 60 GHz. Developed
innovative, noninvasive experimental techniques for the analysis of HTS thin films in terms of their surface
resistance, magnetic penetration depth and complex conductivity. Performed the first reported measurement
of the intrinsic penetration depth of the YBCO HTS superconductor. Performed data analysis and interpretation
aimed at evaluating the potential of recently discovered HTS thin films for practical microwave applications.
This work was done in fulfillment of the Ph.D. candidacy requirements.
Aug 1984-May 1986 Research Assistant, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York
Developed two signal processing algorithms for the deconvolution of noisy, K-α1 X-ray diffraction profiles. This
work was done for fulfillment of M.S. candidacy requirements.
Jan 1984-May 1984 Lecturer of Physics, Puerto Rico Junior College, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico
Taught Introduction to Physics courses
