EXPERIENCE
1999 – Current
Boeing Satellite Systems (Formerly Hughes Space & Communication Company)
 Performed satellite system failure mode analysis and autonomy development. Attitude control lead
in spacecraft mission. Developed ground operational procedures and real-time mission control
software, mission analysis software tools.
1996 – 1999
Hughes Space & Communication Company
 Developed key components of attitude control firmware for MIL-STD-1750 microprocessor and
MIL-STD-1553 digital data bus on new generations of high power communication satellites.
Performed complete flight software testing and hardware/software integration.
1995 – 1996
Department of Electrical Engineering, UCLA
 Post-doctoral study on noise reduction techniques in semiconductor devices and fast image
recognition and pattern correlation with Fourier optics.
1994 – 1995
Department of Physics, UCLA
 Developed an advanced algorithm for image reconstruction in highly diffusive media intended for
near-infrared medical imaging. Built a prototype with other team members. The creative method
can potentially make near infrared imaging a cheaper and safer alternative to X-ray based CT
technology (US Patent No. 5,694,938).
1993 – 1994
Department of Physics, University of Florida & National High Magnetic Field Lab
 Developed the theory of electron transport process in small magnetic junctions and charge/spin
separation in magnetic-superconductor junctions.
1987 – 1993
Works in graduate school, Department of Physics, UCLA
 Discovered universal negative magnetoresistance in hopping condition in disordered
semiconductors. Developed theories for collective excitations in semiconductors, temperature
scaling in quantum Hall effect, and 1/f noise in high temperature superconductors.
