• Researched several promising computational systems technologies and identified potential new applications for modeling a wide variety of complex processes and systems marked by uncertainty• Developed novel algorithms for numerically generating multi-dimensional discrete-state discrete-time probabilities that are more accurate and less computationally intensive than current iterative statistical approaches, such as Monte Carlo simulation• Currently developing proof-of-concept inventory / supply chain model to test and demonstrate basic functionality and viability of the new technology and to enable further commercial product development

• Developed a quick-turn simulation to determine optimal payload replenishment launch schedules required to meet projected functional availability requirements in support of the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) program• Used the Quantitative Assessment of Space System Acquisition Risk (QASAR) tool in support of the 3GIRS Wide Field-of-View (WFOV) schedule risk analysis effort and led ongoing programmatic risk assessments• Developed a Satellite Control Network Response Simulation (SCNRS) to estimate satellite control network reaction times to a variety of probabilistic risk events, and evaluated nearly 1400 cases across several network architectures in support of the SATOPS Study• Developed a mission-level weapon-target assignment tool for determining the number of strike configurations required to cover a set of targets with specified effectiveness probability, and used it to evaluate 800 target strike cases for the Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) study• Developed Satellite Toolkit (STK) access interval parsers and post-processors to evaluate target-satellite-facility access chain completion times in support of the Cubesat Architecture Timeline Study (CATS)• Produced a quick-turn analysis and helped define a new space concept which involves exploiting reflected GPS signals (bistatic radar) for passive tracking of space objects and proximity operations• Constructed a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the effects on launch vehicle flight termination system (FTS) operations in an unmitigated PAVE PAWS radio frequency interference (RFI) environment and saved over $100 M in unnecessary costly changes to FTS equipment

• Developed a process workflow and resource utilization simulation to evaluate performance of the Combined Air Ops Center (CAOC) command and control data flows and timelines in support of the Responsive Strike Command & Control Experiment (RSC2E)• Tailored orbit codes and used the Corporate Fellowship Cluster to generate several hundred thousand coverage simulation runs in support of the Blue Majic Congressional Add (BMCA) study to identify feasible satellite constellations that can meet Blue Force Tracking mission requirements• Developed an agent-based simulation tool, AgentSim, to evaluate target kill probabilities for a variety of nuclear and conventional weapon options, C4ISR architectures, fixed target types, and mobile target activity cycles, in support of the Land-Based Strategic Deterrence (LBSD) Analysis of Alternatives (AOA)• Used AgentSim to drive reqts definition in support of the Military Utility Analysis (MUA) - Concept Design Center (CDC) Integration Study, which resulted in a payload design with significant cost savings (nearly $3B) as compared to the baseline case

• Developed an Integrated Mission Analysis Tool (IMAT) in support of the Advanced Spacelift (ASL) study• IMAT was used to identify optimal inventories of launchers, buses, and payloads to meet mission operational requirements over a 25-year planning horizon while minimizing total architecture lifecycle cost

• Developed a multi-dimensional General Markov Attrition Model (GMAM) to help V&V components of the System Effectiveness Analysis Simulation (SEAS) military utility analysis tool• V&V methodology and resulting code mods led to incorporation of SEAS into the Air Force Suite of Models for Analysis (AFSOM-A)

• Performed capacity planning analysis for the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) in support of the AFSCN Network Integration Contract (NIC)• Worked with contractors to upgrade the AFSCN Mission Effectiveness Simulation (AMES) tool with higher fidelity contact scheduling algorithms

• Created procedures and KPIs to monitor and analyze equipment reliability, maintainability, and availability for remote tracking stations and other assets of the 50th Space Wing Logistics Group• Developed a lifecycle cost analysis tool and applied multi-criteria decision analysis methods to compare waste remediation alternatives for the DOE's Fernald Environmental Management Project• Instructed ten Quality Awareness courses and trained over 200 personnel as a certified Total Quality Management (TQM) Facilitator
