Kevin Quirk
Researcher and Electro-Optical Network Access Systems Engineer
I am a communication systems engineer working on connectivity programs at Facebook. My areas of interest range from the physical through network layers in both RF and free space optical communication systems.
Prior to joining Facebook, I worked on deep space optical communication and planetary radar projects at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was a lecturer at Caltech and UCLA. I received my PhD in electrical engineering from UCSD.
Interests
Communication theory and signal processing
