Developing software tools to assist linguistics generate accurate language models.

Primary Developer of TimeView, an open-source desktop application to analyze time series data, including but not limited to audio dataSole developer for an iOS application to perform Prosody assessment; the application is made up of two apps that communicate with each-other over WiFi or BlueTooth creating an examiner and client settingEvaluate feasibility of potential research projects

- Invented two methods to maintain uniform light output from LEDs despite changes in LED efficiency due to thermal conditions; awarded patents 14\309,772 and 14\309,761- Designed a variety of air, water and phase change thermal systems to accommodate high thermal loads within small form factors to dissipate heat generated from LED arrays- Created an image analyzer using Python that takes a raw image from a UV camera and generates a statistical characterization of the light sources captured- Redesigned existing products to dramatically lower acoustic noise, in one case lowering the noise from 82dB to 59dB under identical usage conditions- Developed algorithms to automate portions of the calibration process for LED lamps in the factory- Utilized computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to evaluate and optimize the thermal performance of lamps in the concept stage

-Designed, tested and analyzed hydraulic down-hole tools used for oil and natural gas extraction in coil tubing systems-Performed material and coating selection based on strength, friction and corrosion characteristics in the design phase-Utilized FEA (SolidWorks Simulation) to evaluate tensile, compressive and contact loading conditions; evaluated the results to revise existing designs, resulting in stronger and more reliable components-Evaluated hydraulic tool performance to compare existing designs against prototypes with DASYLab and MATLAB

-Designed semi-rigid coaxial cable forming tools and vibration test stand using SolidWorks per ASME Y14.5-Participated in the design of airborne mission telemetry hardware-Contributed to structural and thermal analysis of space hardware using SolidWorks Simulation-Resolved non-conformance (NC) part discrepancies-Attended Change Control Board (CCB) meetings and assisted with creation of engineering change orders (ECOs)-Worked on Integrated Process Team (IPT) to the improve machined housing yield-Utilized a 3D printer for rapid prototyping during the design of space hardware and testing fixtures

-Provided factory support for 787 Dreamliner production, an aircraft primarily composed of carbon composite-Performed root cause analysis of countersink diameter and fastener flushness variation during aircraft production and recommended changes to the manufacturing process to minimize rework at the rear barrel section join

Tutored 250+ students in science technology engineering and math (STEM) on both drop in and appointment basis

-Functionally tested, configured and troubleshoot all subsystems of silicon wafer inspection equipment to ensure proper calibration and operation prior to customer delivery

-Inspected, tested, and recommended upgrades to fire protection systems of commercial buildings of all sizes-Ensured existing fire protection systems complied with city, county and state laws at approximately 60 sites

-Directly responsible for the readiness, maintenance, operation and repairs of the Mk-15 Phalanx Close in Weapon System (CIWS); including pneumatic, mechanical, electromechanical, environmental, RF and ordinance subsystems-Utilized frequency generators, spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes
