I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at MIT. I earned my M.S. from MIT in August 2010, and my B.S. from Penn State University in the Schreyer Honors College in May 2008. I went to high school in Beaver, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh.
I work in the Waves and Beams Division of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center under Dr. Richard Temkin, and I am a Department of Energy Office of Science Fellow. I am interested in understanding electromagnetic phenomena, and work with high-power, high-frequency vacuum electronic devices. My Ph.D. research focuses on the development of a novel over-moded 95 GHz Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) Amplifier. For my Master's thesis, I researched the overmoded transmission line system for ITER.
