As a Senior Member of the Technical Staff within the System Science and Architecture group I leverage Model-Based Engineering (MBE), Trade-Space Exploration (TSE), and Operations Research methodologies to address challenges throughout the systems engineering life cycle, including:--Serving as Task Lead for Trident Advanced Trade Studies--Creating a framework for evaluating risk mitigation investments to be used for Business Continuity Management (BCM) and Business Impact Analysis (BIA)--Employing Design of Experiments (DoE) and Surrogate Modeling to generate a Trade Space Exploration (TSE) environment for missile interceptor boost vehicle designs--Serving as Task Lead for an Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) project--Serving as the Flexibility Modeling Lead for Trident's Avionics Solutions Analysis--Employing a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for the optimal placement of assets for a Distributed Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solution

As a graduate researcher in the Aerospace Systems Design Lab (ASDL), I have assisted the following systems engineering and analysis efforts:----NAVAIR Hardware Open Systems Technology (HOST)----I support the development of a life cycle cost analysis dashboard for NAVAIR’s HOST project by:-- Conducting literature reviews of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems-- Identifying best practices for the sustainment of COTS-based systems-- Coding functionality into the HOST dashboard using JMP Pro 11----UAS/NAS Integration Modeling and Simulation----I assisted efforts to develop a modeling and simulation environment of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) integration in the national airspace system (NAS) by:-- Developing an agent based model of US airspace using NetLogo and MatLab-- Generating and running designs of experiments-- Analyzing airspace interactions and simulation results-- Presenting results at the 2014 AIAA Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference----DARPA Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) Project----I supported research efforts on the DARPA AVM program by:-- Identifying best practices for the digital curation of a library of vehicle components-- Assisting in generating an ontology to organize computer models existing in various modeling environments using Open Modelica and Dymola-- Generating training material for digital curation methodologies

As a graduate student intern, I worked within the Systems Engineering & Analysis Division to:--Evaluate SysML modeling tools for future model-based systems engineering (MBSE) initiatives--Identify and demonstrate model-based systems engineering (MBSE) technologies to aid in lab-wide efforts--Analyze verification test data for the Trident Mk 6 Mod 1 guidance system--Generate use-cases and requirements for an automated/interactive statistical analysis software system
