Eric W. Bryerton

Eric W. Bryerton (S’95–M’99–SM’06) received the B.S.E.E. degree from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, USA, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA. From 1999 to 2013, he was a Research Engineer with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, where he was responsible for the design, development, and construction of the 30–950 GHz local oscillator system for Atacama Large Millimeter Array, an array consisting of 66 12-m antennas with nearly quantum-noise limited cryogenic SIS receivers located on the Atacama plateau in northern Chile. Since joining Viriginia Diodes, Inc., Charlottesville, VA, USA, he is enjoying applying the development of highly integrated submillimeter and THz modules to many other research areas besides radio astronomy, including submillimeter test equipment extender modules, CubeSat atmospheric studies, ITER plasma diagnostics, and high-data-rate millimeter-wave communications.
