Career arc
Dr. Maloney earned his PhD at Georgia Tech under Prof. Glenn S. Smith, where he developed foundational FDTD techniques for antenna analysis. He went on to spend 25+ years across academia, defense, intelligence, and commercial industry — culminating in roles as Chief Scientist at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) and co-founder of the engineering practice at Compass Technology Group.
Today he leads Marietta Research Solutions as Principal Engineer and Technical Director — bringing 30+ years of computational electromagnetics expertise directly to the clients who need it.
Signature contributions
Inventor & principal author
Originated the binary-pixel computational antenna design methodology. US Patents 6,323,809 & 11,228,102. Currently authoring the definitive book on the subject.
30+ years of solver work
Continuous development of proprietary finite-difference time-domain code for antenna modeling, RCS analysis, and platform integration studies.
Switched / Agile arrays
Authored the foundational paper on switched fragmented aperture antennas. Led reconfigurable array element design for the DARPA Adaptive Conformal Tile program.
Ultra-wideband phased arrays
Demonstrated 33 : 1 element bandwidth in fragmented aperture phased arrays — with preliminary work suggesting 100 : 1 is achievable.
