Biography
I've spent my career in industry working on RF, microwave and mm-wave semiconductors, leading the development of advanced RF semiconductor products for commercial and defense applications. I currently work as an independent consultant and as Chief Technology Officer of Anlotek Ltd., an RF technology company. I've worked as an Engineering Director or Engineering Manager at Qorvo, RFMD, IBM Micro-electronics, ATN Microwave, and Raytheon. I earned a BSEE from Columbia University in 1979 and an MSECE from UMass Amherst in 1983. I have 11 patents and have published over 40 technical articles. I have been active in the IEEE, the MTT Society and IEEE Conferences since 1990, including service as MTT President, Chair of the IEEE Conferences Committee, Chair of the International Microwave Conference (IMS), and I was the founder the Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWW/RWS). I contribute a column on Microwave Business to IEEE Microwave Magazine, starting in 2011.
