Background

Mr. Donado received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Universidad Catolica Santa Maria la Antigua (Republic of Panama) in 2002, and worked for the National Metrology Centre of Panama (CENAMEP -Panama's national standards laboratory) from 2002 through 2006.

In 2006 he was granted a Fulbright Scholarship to study a Master of Science at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Georgia Tech, which he completed in 2008. Currently, he is pursuing his PhD degree in the same institution.

Research Interests
