Part of my research involves design of a planar antenna that couples energy into the human arm. The image to the left is from a computer simulation of a proposed antenna mounted on a cross section of the arm.

I am developing a damper that can be used as a resistance device for exercise equipment. Utilizing magnetic fields, the damper can be dynamically controlled over a range of different resistances.

My graduate work involves the design and validation of an impinging jet test facility. The facility will simulate the cooling effects created by jet impingement on the surface of turbine blades, thereby helping us to examine the effectiveness of different jet array configurations and geometries in order to accurately determine the most effective means of cooling the extreme temperatures experienced by the metals within a gas turbine engine.

My current project is essentially a novel means of cancer detection and tomographic imaging. We're attempting to detect delay in ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses as they move through objects, and then use those delay values to reconstruct an image of the interior of the object. Since microwaves are a diffractive wave, most of our work has been concentrated in feature detection of the received waveforms as they pass through an object.
