A highly technical, innovative, student-focused educator and researcher, my vision is to recruit, mentor, educate, and encourage the next generation of technical leaders and problem-solvers. I've spent my career preparing for this moment, gaining experience in: intelligence; R&D; hardware and software system development; MBSE; and more. My PhD is in electromagnetic material measurement, but I also dabble in sUAS/c-sUAS research, communications, antennas, RF measurement, and robotics. I love integrating disparate sensors, modalities, hardware, and software to make lives and missions better! More than that, I am constantly improving whatever I see -- whether it's implementing innovative teaching methods, questioning age-old assumptions, tinkering with existing designs, or refactoring outdated code. My personal motto is to "always leave it better", so how can I leave your life better?
