After completing my research of the effects of RF pulsed heating of OFE copper in high power accelerator cavities, I accepted employment in the high-speed telecommunications industry. I am currently employed as a test engineer at Big Bear Networks, Inc., in which I'm primarily involved with testing and design for high-speed telecommunications over fiber optics.
