SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

• My thesis involved techniques to improve the performance of X-ray free electron lasers. This work involved:
• Experimental work setting up, aligning, and operating multiple class IV laser systems
• Design and construction of EUV photon diagnostics
• Analysis and visualization of large sets of experimental and simulated data
• Numerical simulations on large, distributed computing clusters
• Use of genetic algorithms to perform multivariate optimization

Canoga Park, CA

I created an algorithm to simulate gas pressure inside a hit-to-kill smart kinetic energy vehicle (SKEV) and maintain constant thrust levels through several exhaust nozzles. I implemented and optimized this algorithm on a Propeller microcontroller chip, ultimately achieving a ~1000Hz refresh rate on all fluid state variables. I planned and began.

I have taught physics discussion and laboratory sections, both for algebra and calculus based courses. I was the head teaching assistant for an introductory mechanics physics course for pre-med majors.

Stanford University

I created a data analysis pipeline, implemented optimal detection criteria, and analytically and numerically developed a new, streamlined formalism to detect gravitational waves using radio observations of millisecond pulsars. I have also diagnosed, tested, and appended to large C and FORTRAN codes, leading to more robust predictions of theoretical.
