ABOUT BAYLOR

"Baylor Engineeering offers something totally unique among engineering programs: a genuine atmosphere of Christian intellectual and interdisciplinary development coupled with fantastic professors and learning environments. It's why i came for undergrad, it's why I stayed for my masters, and it's why I recommend it to anyone looking into an engineering career."

RESEARCH

My current project is essentially a novel means of cancer detection and tomographic imaging. We're attempting to detect delay in ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses as they move through objects, and then use those delay values to reconstruct an image of the interior of the object. Since microwaves are a diffractive wave, most of our work has been concentrated in feature detection of the received waveforms as they pass through an object.

The picture above is an example of one pass across an object. The large peak that appears in the center of the image is the feature we're trying to detect. By using the index of the peak samples, we can develop projections of the image from numerous angles, and thus create our image.
