MANGO COMMUNICATIONS - Key Persons
Chris Hunter joined Mango in 2012 after completing his PhD at Rice University. As both an undergraduate and graduate student he was involved with the development WARP, including the creation of the WARPMAC framework to facilitate custom MAC development on WARP. His dissertation uses WARP heavily to study real-world impairments of MAC protocols for user cooperation systems. Since joining Mango full-time in 2012 Chris has worked on a number of projects including the MAC design for the 802.11 MAC/PHY Design and the complete redesign of WARPLab 7.
Patrick has worked on WARP from the beginning. As a graduate student, and later as project manager, in Rice's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Patrick helped conceive and build WARP. He designed the first generation of WARP hardware, implemented WARP's MIMO OFDM physical layer transceivers, and helped manage all the engineering and support activities of the Rice WARP team. He finished his PhD in 2010 (with a thesis full of experiments on WARP). Since 2010 Patrick has worked at Magno full-time, designing the WARP v3 hardware platform and most recently completing the PHY and FPGA designs for the 802.11 MAC/PHY Design.
