As Founder & CEO, I am utilizing the skills and experience gained during 6 years of PhD work and 4 years of R&D at a deep tech/moonshot startup to commercialize carbon capture technology. My approach is to bridge the gap between laboratory research and real world applications of cutting edge technology.

Facilitated technical programs and collaborations in hypersonics.

Worked in a limited role within Specter Aerospace (formerly FGC Plasma Solutions) while finishing my PhD. Helped Specter Aerospace with company push into the defense industry targeting hypersonics.

Performed experimental research in the areas of plasma-based supersonic flow control and plasma-assisted supersonic combustion for application in hypersonic propulsion systems. During this time I was author/coauthor on 16 journal articles and 26 conference papers. Typical lab duties included:-Operate and maintain two supersonic/hypersonic wind tunnels (ACT-1 and SBR-50)-High-speed data acquisition via oscilloscopes, PLCs, and LabView.-High-definition, high-speed schlieren imaging… Show more Performed experimental research in the areas of plasma-based supersonic flow control and plasma-assisted supersonic combustion for application in hypersonic propulsion systems.
