| James
Nessel is an Electronics Engineer with the Antennas,
Microwave, and Optical Systems Branch at the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Glenn
Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, OH.
His areas of research include electrically small
antenna design and printed circuit antenna technologies
for lunar surface-to-surface and surface-to-orbit
communications, as well as experiments with atmospheric
effects on radio frequency propagation at Ka-band.
James Nessel earned his
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
at Arizona State University in 2002 and his Master
of Science in Electrical Engineering from Arizona
State University in 2004. At ASU, he specialized
in semiconductor device theory where his research
involved the development of a model for predicting
the effects of gamma radiation on semiconductor
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices
with Los Alamos National Laboratories.
Presently, James is supporting
the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System-Continuation
(TDRSS-C) effort developing candidate antenna
technologies for the next generation TDRSS-C and
the Uplink Array Coherence Experiment for the
future Deep Space Network architecture.
