David A. Burgess
Mr. Burgess has nearly 15 years of experience in signal processing system development and scientific computing. Much of his work in recent years has been in the areas of signals intelligence, radiolocation, and navigation. He has also worked in electronic warfare, image processing, high-fidelity audio processing, and DSP system design. Mr. Burgess has extensive experience in physical layer and protocol processing for cellular radio systems (GSM, IS-95, and others) for communication, target location, and intelligence applications. This work includes the development of physical layer processing software for MIMO systems and computationally efficient techniques for joint demodulation in co-channel environments. He is thoroughly familiar with the implementation details and requirements of a variety of radionavigation systems, including GPS.
Mr. Burgess enjoys "hands-on" work and close cooperation with clients. He is a seasoned software developer working both alone and within teams, and can employ a variety of programming languages as project requirements dictate (including C++, DSP assembly, and Python). He holds an M.S. degree in computer science, and a B.S. degree in electrical engineering, both from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Harvind S. Samra
Dr. Samra has nearly 10 years of experience in communications and signal processing, which include algorithm and system development, software/firmware and hardware design, and some technical management. He recently worked for the Rosum Corporation as a Senior Engineer, where he was responsible for the system, algorithm, and software development of location estimation technologies based upon television signals. He also served as a Research Engineer for Statistical Signal Processing, Inc., developing real-time communication and signal intelligence (COMINT, SIGINT) software packages that characterize co-channel GSM and IS-136 RF environments.
He holds a Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Davis, where his research focused upon the development of novel signal processing algorithms for exploiting packet retransmissions. He also holds M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and B.S. degrees in both electrical and computer engineering from the University of Kansas. He has authored many IEEE conference and journal papers.
