WORK HISTORY:
May 2003 - to date Ph.D. Candidate University of Calgary
Research focused on Q-enhanced active filters , noise, linearity and frequency response
Devised a new Q-enhancement scheme solely based on on-chip spiral inductors which produces multistage Q-enhanced filters with low passband distortion, low power consumption and high linearity.
September 2000 April 2003
M.Sc. Candidate TR Labs & University of Calgary
Graduated with thesis titled Spiral Inductor Q-Enhancement Techniques
Research focused on transformer based active Q-enhancement schemes of spiral inductors with potential applications to active filters
Designed fully integrated 1.8GHz voltage controlled oscillators including an oscillator with improved resonant tank Q based on a Frlan transformer
Designed and fabricated a fully integrated frequency synthesizer for Bluetooth specification standard
Designed and simulated with realistic conditions low noise amplifiers and Gilbert mixers
May 1996 September 2000
Programmer analyst (part time) Information Technologies, University of Calgary
Responsible for maintaining the Remedy Action Requestor System (ARS), application used by Information Technologies for workflow automation
Provided technical support, help and information to the instructors using CMLS
(Computer Managed Learning System owned by the Math Department of the U of C
Responsible for creating linear algebra questions to enhance the question banks of CMLS
Responsible for CMLS development at source code level (Visual Basic 3.0) including:
-Improving the GUI for the CMLS instructor interface
-Improving the scoring procedures for the CMLS questions
-Designing a client-server application to refresh and echo the CMLS server (daemon).
Designed an HTML internal help system for the students using CMLS
Created a User Manual for CMLS
Responsible for upgrading the Remedy ARS to accommodate the version 4.0 features
Integrated MS Access reports with Remedy ARS via ODBC linking to the Remedy Oracle database and Visual Basic conversion functions
Responsible for replacing the ad-hoc MS Access reports with Seagate Crystal Reports
