TSC provides on orbit services for satellite flyby inspections, orbit relocation, and situational awareness. Our research includes evolutionary algorithms, RL for combinatorial optimization, Bayesian optimization, Conv. Cond. Neural Processes, ML for in orbital dynamics, and deep learning for computer vision.

My research is focused on applying ML algorithms to dynamical systems and physical phenomena.Recent work in ML prediction of nonlinear dynamical systems and exploring improvements to Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithms.

My small team for freelance consulting. We will develop DS/ML tools for any use you like.

Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area

Constructed a PyTorch Deep Learning model predicting sound levels at locations around a jet nozzle for various nozzle/surface configurations. Deliverables: Python based command line tool containing a trained neural network for distribution, and a paper documenting experiments and results. Additionally, implemented recent work for neural network uncertainty quantification.

Researched, designed, and constructed a pipeline for the PeTaL Biomimicry Project consisting of a web scraper to accumulate a dataset, text mining and topic modeling clustering tools (Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, Latent Dirichlet Allocation), and a Meta-Classifier to add new documents to the corpus. Deliverables: Python based command line tool, a module integrated into the larger PeTaL tool, and a paper. Paper published https://www.mdpi.com/2411-9660/3/3/43.
