- Hired as laboratory and vicarious remote sensing calibration expert for AirMISPI, AVIRIS, and OCO programs to assist with radiometric, polarmetric, spectral and angular characterization of mulit-spectral, multi-angle, polarmetric and hyperspectral instruments.- Most recent work with JPL includes installation and testing of an automated networked system.

Dominguez Hills, Southern California

It's not my day job, but I take pride in the opportunity to teach physics to future elementary, special ed, and high school teachers. It's a fun gig, with lots of demos and hands-on experiments. In class, I strive to help students become better perceivers of the real world, and how to pass those skills to their students. I've also been a part-time physics.
