The scientist in me loves a good equation, the engineer, however likes something that works
Welcome! My name is Josh Kovitz, and I love tinkering with new tech and understanding how the world works. I am a graduate student researcher at UCLA, where my research primarily focuses on integrating new technologies to improve wireless systems as we know it. My skills concentrate primarily in antenna engineering, microwave systems, and electromagnetics, but I also take interest in wireless communications and circuits to gain a holistic perspective on my work. As a scientist, I love a good equ...
