Nathan Cummings

Nathan holds Ph.D. and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering, both from Virginia Tech. He joined with Stani in 2007 as Maxtena’s VP of Engineering and in 2013 became Chief Operating Officer with a key interest in Maxtena’s manufacturing and production. As part of the founding core of Maxtena, his path here traversed both large and small companies as well as academic research. His previous work in the defense industry for ARINC (now Rockwell-Collins) and Sciperio focused heavily on novel antenna design and challenging interference problems on radio-dense platforms.

Along with his enthusiasm for technology and innovation, Nathan has a passion for music and has spent most of his life not more than an arm’s reach away from a guitar of some variety. He says his interest in the science and math of music has been a driving factor behind his attraction to technology. Nathan also serves on the Virginia Tech Electrical & Computer Engineering Advisory Board.
