Product manager for the Mission Simulation product, a scalable modeling and simulation environment for statistically characterizing the performance of sensor-driven AI/ML models and algorithms on autonomous systems- Defined the product road map- Prioritized features and product behaviors- Monitored the progress of the engineering team in accomplishing product goals- Worked across functions to produce sales and marketing material- Demonstrated Mission Simulation to a wide range of internal and external parties

Developed a new business area concentrating on algorithm development for radar-driven weapon system improvement. - Funded projects include cruise missile trajectory prediction, optimal shot scheduling, Point of Origin determination for semi-ballistic threat and artillery trajectory optimization.- Developed or helped to develop concepts for proposal to different Department of Defense organizations- Implemented algorithms along the maturity spectrum from proof-of-concept prototypes in MATLAB and Python to delivery software in MATLAB and C++- Managed an engineering team of 8 to execute projects in this business area- Managed all customer-facing interactions and deliverablesLead an engineering effort executing a Future Naval Capability program to deliver a new sensor management capability to existing Navy platforms- Scoped work with a team of 8-10 engineers- Managed relationship with prime contractor

Supported MIT LL contributions to the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system, especially the Sea-Based Terminal componentContributed to early-stage hypersonic defense architecture studies

Completed a dissertation investigating the use of granular material flow as a surrogate for supersonic fluid flow and a thesis investigating the dynamics of tethered satellite systems. Published papers and gave presentations on granular material flow (currently in process), tethered satellite systems, human spine dynamics, and capstone engineering course development. Served as an instructor or co-instructor for the following courses:MAE 478/479 - Space Systems Design (6 years)MAE 261 - Introduction to Flight (Summer session)MAE 206 - Engineering Statics (1 semester)MAE 314 - Solid Mechanics (1 semester)Served as a grader for MAE 476 - Rocket Propulsion

I worked for two summers in the aerodynamics department.

Conducted supervised research in the Laboratory for Adaptive Materials Systems and Structures.
