Albuquerque, New Mexico Area

High power microwave weapon modeling and simulation• Successfully simulated and completely suppressed electron multipactor by two independent methods – Negative Bias and Angled Windows• Discovered successful passive and active multipactor preventive measures• Modeled increasing power based on tradeoff analysisAssistant program manager• Assisted in managing $5 Million/year microwave research program, including research, software development, personnel, and resource allocation• Aided in oversight for 11 personnel and 7 high performance computing systems with 24 Million computer hours• Developed budget, projects and design for new amplifiers and sources

Dayton, Ohio Area

Solar flare prediction• Conducted research related to solar protons, which may accompany large (X class) solar flares, with resulting damage to satellites, airplanes and pilots• Created novel prediction algorithm for solar flares using statistical techniques that predicted solar proton events with high probability, minimizing false positives and false negatives

Eglin, Fl

Image and material recognition• Enhanced material identification process by polarized light – separated wide range of materials into ‘target’ and ‘natural’ categories by passive detection• Utilized and automated data flow from a wide range of lab equipment, including a dual rotating retarder polarimeter, Zygo Profilometer, and several 1 W lasers• Programmed a graph theory image processing algorithm to recognize targets by shape in concealment, camouflage, and deception
