My research interests are in signal processing, remote sensing, mmWave radar, and engineering laboratory education. The following summarizes my research projects.
Radar Security
Emerging remote sensing technologies in IoT devices and automotive vehicles increases the concern on side-channel attacks and mutual interference. This research includes (1) modeling of malicious attacks and mutual interference against the remote sensing systems and (2) developing anti-attack/interference remote sensing systems.

mmWave Phased Array
The key enabler for directionality in mmWave is phased arrays. The small wavelength of mmWave frequencies allows us to pack a very large number of antennas in a small area which creates highly directional narrow beams. This research includes (1) developing online over-the-air phased array calibration and (2) its applications in wireless communication.

Sub-sampling Reconstruction
Can we break the Nyquist rate? This research demonstrates a non-uniform sampler using multirate sampling frequencies can efficiently reconstruct the signal below the Nyquist rate.
