Corvallis, Oregon

1. Running day-to-day operations of Autonomous Agents and Distributed Intelligence (AADI) Lab.2. I mentor graduate students in the AADI lab.3. Principal researcher on two Department of Energy grants: (i) developing algorithms to coordinate sensors (up to 10,000) in distributed sensor networks, and (ii) developing algorithms to model and control advanced.

1. Columbia Power Technologies: Created a simulator to evaluate wave energy converter designs, and applied an evolutionary algorithm to optimize ballast design.2. Department of Energy: Used reinforcement learning and evolutionary algorithms to optimize the measurement accuracy of distributed sensor networks (up to 10,000 coordinating devices).3..

Designed and implemented design changes for Sheldon Manufacturing vacuum oven. Cycle time (time to heat and then cool oven chamber) was reduced by 70% using advanced cooling system, and custom gasket seal was replaced with standard o-ring to reduce replacement costs while maintaining 0.00025 atm vacuum pressure.
