Bio

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at MIT, working in the Computational Prototyping Group under Professor Luca Daniel. I am originally from State College Pennsylvania, where I received my BS in Engineering Science and Mechanics with honors in Engineering Science from Penn State University in the spring of 2004. I came to MIT in the fall of 2004, and received my SM in Electrical Engineering from MIT in the spring of 2006.

Research Interests

My main reserach interests are in modeling and simulation for the purpose of automatic design and optimiziation of systems such as analog circuits and MEMS devices. This includes both theoretical issues concerning modeling of nonlinear systems, such as guaranteed preservation of stability, and practical issues concerning fast simulation.

Currently, my research is towards the automatic system-level design and optimization of RF receiver chains. Specifically, my work focuses on the automatic extraction of parameterized nonlinear macromodels for receiver components such as amplifiers and mixers. I have developed and improved several modeling techniques based on nonlinear model reduction and system identification, and have worked on preserving system properties such as stability and passivity in the resulting macromodels.
