• Development of ultrafast (fs) pump-probe transient phase microscopy technique using in-line birefringent crystals for temporal interferometry with balanced detection. VIS-NIR.  Manuscript in preparation. • Design and development of a high-voltage piezoelectric confocal fiber laser scanner for imaging. Designed in Solidworks, machined & 3D printed parts, constructed, aligned, and wrote code for data acquisition & processing. Developed an iterative sparse-representation inpainting algorithm.  https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAA.484370  • Worked with Convolutional Neural Net structures for image-to-image translational projects and signal processing applications. (Tensorflow, Keras)  • Wrote GUI integration code for Raspberry Pi-based Spectroscopy Outreach kit used in CSU outreach courses with local middle and high school students.  • Coursework in ultrafast and nonlinear optics (pump-probe microscopy, MPEF, Raman scattering microscopy, confocal microscopy. Visible-NIR.)  • Additional projects included denoising and signal processing efforts, fluorescence microscopy, cell-culturing. • Scott Graduate Fellowship Recipient

• Partnered with the Army Space and Missile Defense Command, addressing the problem of accessing location and navigation services when troops have lost GPS signal.• 30+ DOD and Commercial interviews conducted, designed a business plan, market strategy and financial forecasts.• Proposed the current technical solution, designed a 6-month roadmap, began initial prototyping (initialized hardware, wrote code for interfacing and data collection, noise calibration).

• Maintained the analytics system in place with an ongoing clinical study• Managed new analytics projects as data access was acquired

• Completed company training in Machine Learning & Data Analytics• Designed, developed, implemented and maintained machine-learning systems for population health datasets• Aided in hardware product development as needed, including tasks such as circuit design, circuit construction, troubleshooting and device testing

• Shadowed the CEO and performed a variety of tasks related to customer discovery, strategic market entry analysis, grant proposal writing, graphic and website design, CAD design, product development, circuit construction and surface mount PCB population (0402)

• NCSU Entrepreneurship Clinic Miller Fellow recipient (6 month fellowship)• Business plan development, customer discovery, prototype construction, signal processing

• Project based internship within RD&E looking at cost saving chemical production process alternatives, dispensing system designs, lab testing and batch quality assurance testing. • Developed a new process for producing a grill cleaner that cut the scheduled batch time from 3 hours to 1 hour and resulted in a savings of 11.5K/yr• Designed a new dispensing system which led to a preliminary patent application.• Further developed interpersonal communication skills by conducting team meetings and presenting experimental results to the department

• 3-D modeled several aircraft in CATIA, used python to estimate aircraft performance metrics, and conducted a comparative analysis of competitive aircraft.
