Dreaming up novel photo and video experiences and creating the computational tools needed to bring these dreams to life.

Come on now... you know I can't say what I do... this is Apple! Rest assured that it's really super-cool and you know you're going to need to have it as soon as you know what it is:)

You Go Mountain creates high-performance photography software. You Go Mountain's first product, Panogaea, uses the computational power of the GPU to enable realtime manipulation and remapping of large panoramic images. Panogaea is available on the Mac App Store.

Conceived, implemented and delivered algorithms and software for assessing the perceptual image quality of multi-camera imaging systems for the automotive industry.

Principal duties include R&D, concept optical design, design for manufacturing, tolerance analysis, and opto-mechanical engineering for miniature camera modules and extended depth of field imaging systems.

My dissertation research focused on assessing and optimizing tomographic imaging systems for tumor detection tasks. The importance of this research lies in developing both the theory and computational framework for improving our ability to detect tumors in tomographic images. For this work I created a software toolkit that predicts how well a given.

In addition to the usual coursework associated with the optics master's degree I worked as a research associate at the Gedanken Laboratory at the optical sciences center. This research focused on numerical and theoretical studies of Bose-Einstein condensates, which are a special state of matter that can exist at extremely cold nano-kelvin temperatures..

As an applied mathematics graduate student I focused my course work on dynamical systems and nonlinear optics. While an applied mathematics student, and later as a beginning optical sciences student, I worked as a research assistant at the Arizona Center for Mathematical sciences focusing on theoretical and numerical studies of pattern formation in.

In addition to research and coursework I also taught five separate undergraduate mathematics classes, which included preparing and delivering all lectures in addition to all grading homework sets / exams and holding office hours. The teaching added a lot to my overall workload but I hold this experience as my most rewarding throughout my graduate school.
