I am a dedicated RF engineer specializing in Solid State Amplifiers at the NSLS-II facility. As a key member of the RF Group, I focus on maintaining and optimizing the performance of the storage ring transmitters, ensuring the seamless operation of this critical component in advanced scientific research. In addition to my primary role, I am a contributer to the development of low-level RF systems as an FPGA programmer, further enhancing the facility's cutting-edge technological capabilities.

Expertise

My expertise lies in Solid State Amplifiers, with a particular focus on leveraging the advanced capabilities of LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) and GaN (Gallium Nitride) transistors. My expertise encompasses the design, optimization, and maintenance of high-power RF amplifiers, where the unique properties of these transistor technologies play a critical role. LDMOS transistors offer exceptional linearity and efficiency in high-frequency operations, while GaN transistors provide superior power density and thermal performance, making them ideal for demanding RF applications. My in-depth knowledge enables me to develop and support robust systems that meet the stringent requirements of modern accelerator facilities.
