About

PhD Principal Engineer focused on Radar DSP and embedded platforms (FPGA/SoC + Embedded Linux). I specialize in developing and integrating real-time signal processing systems, building test infrastructure, and validating performance with real data and hardware setups.

I have delivered projects across radar/EW, embedded system integration, and high-performance prototyping. In addition, I led the development of a structured-light 3D scanner on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, taking it from concept to a working prototype with its own calibration methodology.

FOCUS AREAS

► Radar DSP and system modeling (analysis, KPIs, validation)
► FPGA/SoC development (Zynq, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC)
► Embedded Linux bring-up, drivers, and high-throughput data pipelines
► Test automation and measurement-driven debugging
► Technical communication: scientific writing, patents, presentations

My Teaching Principles

  1. WHAT to learn
    Learning objectives are clearly defined and measurable. Each lesson starts by stating its goals and concludes by revisiting them, ensuring that key ideas are understood and retained.

  2. HOW to learn
    Each topic is broken down into clear, manageable steps that lead toward the lesson objective. Practical examples accompany every step, because numbers, expressions, plots, and concrete implementations are essential for true understanding.

  3. HOW MUCH to learn
    Lessons are carefully scoped to avoid cognitive overload. When a topic becomes too dense, it is deliberately split into multiple shorter lessons to maintain clarity and focus.
