CurrentCurrently completing Ph.D. thesis concerning the laser communications subsystems of the proposed joint NASA/ESA space based gravitational wave detector (LISA). Research involves demonstrating the capability of the laser communications subsystems to transmit clock errors, to transmit recorded data, and to measure and track the range between the LISA spacecraft without disturbing the main interferometric measurement using the University of Florida LISA Interferometry Simulator (UFLIS).-Proposed, designed, implemented, and tested modifications to UFLIS involving the laser communications subsystems.-Designed and tested a digital delay lock loop for pseudo-random noise code ranging
