Arlington, VA

Developed a Matlab/Octave coupling interface to the ICEPIC radiation simulator used extensively by the High Performance Microwave Institute (HPMI) based out of Kirtland, AFB. Built a conversion tool to read and rotate far field E&M data to facilitate automated optimizations incorporating both the Joint RF Effects Model (JREM) and the Scalable Engineering.

Naval Research Laboratory, Washington DC

Provided user support for the advanced computational environment of the DoD’s HPC modernization program as an on-site staff scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. Converted a large MPI-based computational fluid dynamics code to run in a hybrid OpenMP/MPI format, improving its memory scalability and computational efficiency.Ported an.

Army Research Laboratory, Adelph, MD

Implemented independent asynchronous time stepping algorithm in a massively parallel finite element structural dynamics code in collaboration with Dr. Adrian Lew at Stanford University. The code was successfully scaled to over 2000 processor cores and 750 million elements.Developed an iOS application capable of predicting light instability in the transonic.

Alexandria, VA And Columbia, MD

Applied the random forest machine learning algorithm to prototype an international passenger screening system designed to identify potential terrorists based solely on their passenger flight data. Designed a fingerprint classification method using the NIST Bozorth3 and NFIQ algorithms in combination with the Random Forest machine learning algorithm and a.

Rockville, MD

One of two senior scientists responsible for code development (C/C++/Fortran), testing and validation of a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package designed to run on parallel supercomputers. The software development involved the innovative use of a Lagrangian solution based on the vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations..

New York, NY

Programmer responsible for the full life-cycle development (C/Fortran/perl/SQL/threading) of real time equity and fixed income trading tools on the Bloomberg Professional System. Software projects included real time and historical pricing of customizable indices, a realtime (24x7) price alert system, and market order depth monitoring tools. Successfully.

Rockville, MD

Part of a team responsible for developing, validating and debugging a large mixed C++/FORTRAN code designed to solve the Navier-Stokes system of differential equations on massively parallel supercomputers. Performed multi-phase simulations of bomb blast fallout using axi-symmetric and three dimensional models spanning both compressible and incompressible.

Boulder, CO

Performed extensive computer simulations of deep water formation in the coastal regions of Antarctica. Developed, validated and implemented a new method of simulating topography in non-hydrostatic computational ocean modeling by adapting the virtual boundary method utilized in CFD to simulate solid bodies in external flow. Model results found surprisingly.

Boulder, CO

Sole developer responsible for coding (in C), implementing, testing and documenting all mathematical functions in a commercial software package designed to compete with MATLAB and IDL. Also responsible for creating the product tutorial and numerous examples demonstrating the mathematical capabilities of the software package.

Various Locations (GS-11, 1LT, 2LT)

Responsible for developing a budget of over 14 million dollars while acting as the Chief of Financial Management for the civil engineering squadron at Lowry Air Force base. The budget development process included extensive strategic planning and interaction with various units of the squadron, including those responsible for operations, new building.
