My research program is built around the premise that innovation is a hands-on activity. We leverage creativity and technical expertise to apply this philosophy and take our transformative concepts in engineering, art, science, and technology from theory into practice.
Nature is full of game-changing feats of engineering. Our work in biologically inspired antenna and systems engineering is interdisciplinary, and focused on both the study of biological systems and functional translation (application) of these concepts to tackle complex engineering problems.
There are many opportunities to consolidate a range of operational modalities into a single device, platform, or system. Multifunctionality for us provides a means to examine aerodynamically-functionalized antennas and other concepts which enable the radiating structure to take on additional roles in sensing, load-bearing, and system integration.
