Summary
Chris Coen is a Senior Research Engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute with 11 years of experience designing microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits and radiometer systems for atmospheric remote sensing. He earned a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech, where his doctoral work produced low-power, single-chip 183 GHz and 60 GHz radiometer receivers using SiGe HBT technology. A recipient of a NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship, he has interned at NASA Goddard and MIT Lincoln Laboratory contributing to CubeSat radiometer instruments and high-performance LNAs. Chris combines hands-on MMIC design—LNAs, mixers, multipliers—and system-level calibration with expertise in broadband and 1/f noise characterization. He has authored or coauthored 20 publications and led lab operations and student mentoring in the SiGe Devices and Circuits Group. Based in Atlanta, he is known for translating cutting-edge device-level research into compact, low-power sensors suited for space-constrained platforms like CubeSats.
