Industry/Academic Experience
Terry worked as a Senior Engineer at Seagate in their Electrical Integration group for
several years prior to obtaining his patent agent license. While working at Seagate,
Terry evaluated and analyzed recording heads and subsystems for the company’s line
of magnetic recording storage systems, and was responsible for ensuring that recording
head designs met customer performance and reliability requirements. He developed new
Area Density Capacity (ADC) equations to improve head-to-drive correlation by 50%,
and developed new specifications for protecting disk drives while minimizing head yield
impact.

During his Ph.D. program, Terry published 9 journal papers and 13 conference
papers covering wireless communications, digital signal processing, and networking
technologies. He designed a complex field network coding (CFNC) system to improve
the physical layer symbol rate by R times, where R is the number of relay nodes in the
system. Terry also developed a high-performance low-complexity demodulator in a
distributed multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system, to achieve full diversity without use
of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes.
