Principal Scientist
CurrentDeveloped test plans and time tables for experiments critical to solid propellant studies. Designed experiments to collect gas measurements from propellant samples. Expanded computational acumen by modeling the migration of characteristic gases within a rocket motor. Performed computational analysis of characteristic components to estimate solid propellant aging. Cultured analysis skills through statistical assessment of material degradation characteristics. Advanced research skills in the development of new nitrate ester propellants. Developed non-destructive techniques to examine propellant sample aging. Refined communication skills in writing reports and presentations to customers, peers and supervisors.
