Taught recitation and laboratory sections for:MAE 3126: Fluid MechanicsMAE 2131: Thermodynamics

Developed decentralized multi-agent actor critic algorithm that utilizes learning agents in parallel environments with synchronous gradient descent to stabilize training without a replay buffer. It makes no assumptions about the structure of the environment, is agnostic to the policies of other agents, and does not require shared parameters during training or execution.

- Developed statistical models of military grade computer networks to evaluate customer packet capture, logging, storage, and incident response needs, resulting in reduced program cost.- Technical Compliance Lead on $150 million cyber security proposal. Achieved 100% compliance and program win.

Advanced Materials & Processes Development:- Conducted applied research in advanced manufacturing and materials engineering.- Develop, test, and evaluate metallic and non-metallic additive manufactured materials for aerospace applications.- Support the Air Force Research Lab's Metals Affordability Initiative- Supported B-basis allowables development for additive manufactured metals.JSF Materials & Processes Engineering:- Resolve materials & processes issues on the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35) production line.- Analyze of out of spec parts for root cause and viability to support F-35 production JSF Systems Engineering:- Oversaw development & approval of technical changes to the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35). Determined impacts, worked with suppliers, developed statement of work, and presented proposed changes to F-35 leadership. - Managed schedule for all NGC technical changes to the F-35. Ran weekly meetings with various managers to update them on the status of each. Made suggestions and re-allocated resources to keep changes on track.

Worked under Dr. Sanyia LeBlanc on Selective Laser Melting of Bismuth Telluride.- Designed, built, and programmed system to model the processes of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) on a small scale. This enabled testing of experimental powders in small quantities to determine spreadability and flowability. - Researched methods of improving the morphology of thermoelectric powders for use in SLM, helping move the project from using compacts to powder. This was a vital step toward making Bismuth Telluride viable for SLM production

Developed requirements for the creation and establishment of the Ground Products System Integration Lab, which will provide a common integration environment for Boeing’s Space & Intelligence Ground Systems department
