Modeling and Simulation toolset for airborne radar-- Developed, validated, and optimized high-fidelity radar return models in MATLAB to simulate flight environment---- Implemented software development best practices using tools such as git and the MATLAB unittest framework---- Worked with internal customers to ensure the tools satisfied stability, fidelity, and speed requirements-- Drove customer expectation to include simulation testing in software delivery process---- Demonstrated tool utility to internal experts by replicating flight performance in simulation---- Designed and analyzed simulations for scenarios too costly or impractical for regular flight test---- Conducted new user training and provided user supportAirborne radar software development-- Tracking algorithm upgrade---- Worked with software engineers to implement and test new tracking logic in legacy code base---- Iterated algorithm based on simulation and flight testing-- Flight test analysis---- Analyzed flight test data to ensure proper performance at system and sub-system levels---- Suggested improvements for software defects---- Validated software fixes through simulation and data replayEngineering Leadership Development Program-- Developed leadership skills, e.g. communication and decision-making, in seven workshops over two years-- Completed cross-functional 6-Sigma capstone project for communicating risk and opportunity information across programs

La Jolla, Ca, Us

Thesis: Toward Gromov-Witten Invariants for Relatively Coherent Logarithmic SchemesInterests: contributed to the Gross-Siebert program for mirror symmetry in algebraic geometry; in particular, developed the notion of “relatively-coherent logarithmic schemes” which establish a correspondence between the smooth world of varieties and the discrete world of lines in a planeActivities: maintained expertise in a wide range of research; calculated computationally-intensive examples to illuminate new ideas; communicated results by written thesis; presented research at regional and national conferences; led weekly graduate seminar

La Jolla, Ca, Us

Taught undergraduate precalculus; planned and presented four lectures weekly; held office hours and answered student questions; designed, administered, and graded exams; assigned final grades

La Jolla, Ca, Us

Led discussion sections and graded homework and exams in all levels of classes from undergraduate calculus through graduate abstract algebra
