Joshua Griffin received his B.S. in Engineering (2003) from LeTourneau University and his MSECE (2005) and PhD (2009) from The Georgia Institute of Technology. While a graduate student, he was a member of The Propagation Group and was advised by Dr. Gregory Durgin. In 2009, he joined Disney Research, Pittsburgh as a postdoctoral researcher and in 2010 transitioned to a Research Scientist position. While at Disney Research, he has had the privilege of working with researchers in the wireless group at Carnegie Mellon University as well as co-teaching a capstone design course.

Joshua Griffin research interests fall in the area of applied electromagnetics and include backscatter radio and radio frequency identification (RFID), UHF and microwave propagation, and radiolocation. His first project in this area, which was completed for his MSECE degree, was a study of RFID tag antenna gain when attached to common conductive and dielectric materials. His PhD work focused on multipath fading for backscatter channels -- i.e., the communication channel in which a backscatter RFID tag operates. He derived new fading probability distribution functions (PDFs) and designed a microwave tested to verify the distributions experimentally. He currently works on radiolocation and RFID for Disney Research.
