• Creator and principal investigator for a research project identifying techniques and creating prototypes to provide common situational awareness to non-colocated members of the traffic flow management team• Advisor and project lead for a cross-cutting integration effort evaluating advanced concepts and capabilities for traffic flow management culiminating in potential acquisition• Guided a multi-disciplined project team in the identification of the activities required to perform TFM… Show more • Creator and principal investigator for a research project identifying techniques and creating prototypes to provide common situational awareness to non-colocated members of the traffic flow management team• Advisor and project lead for a cross-cutting integration effort evaluating advanced concepts and capabilities for traffic flow management culiminating in potential acquisition• Guided a multi-disciplined project team in the identification of the activities required to perform TFM and delve into the data exchanges necessary to perform those activities. Helped translate this knowledge into enterprise architecture (EA) required for the FAA’s Acquisition process.• Guided a cross-department project team to refine a concept and derive system requirements for the Traffic Flow Management (TFM)-Initiated Airborne Rerouting capability. This effort involved working closely with TFM and En Route personnel to identify proper process flows for airborne rerouting both by automation and procedurally which culminated in a concept of operations, demonstration in storyboards, and identification of requirements for both the TFM and en route automation systems. • Participated in a cross-department effort to define a Terminal-TFM Functional Allocation. Work expanded to include an in-depth evaluation of functional allocation based on equipment available to various towers and a preliminary set of expected data exchanges and necessary interfaces.
