Expert Background

I maintain a broad interest in solving problems in the fields of analog and mixed-signal information processing and electro-optic sensing using CMOS technology. We are developing a program in integrated power management circuits, and have publshed several papers on low-power linear dropout regulators. In addition, I am applying low-power analog and mixed-signal VLSI techniques for the solution of adaptive optics problems in real-time. In particular, we have developed three sensor systems: an active-pixel image centroid sensor, an active-pixel image sharpness sensor, and a wavefront phase sensor that uses an interferometric approach. All of this research has been conducted in collaboration with the Electro-Optics Group at NMSU.
