• Offensive and Defense Space control (OSD / DSC) directorate.• Lead support to Schriever Wargames • Support Space security, space situational awareness, technology planning, requirements development, prototype planning, tactics development and operations. • Future system requirements. • AFSPC (Air force Space Command) /Spacecom lead technical advisor. • AFSPC lead technical advisor tasked to review, provide insight/oversight, identify gaps, and provide recommendations for over 100 Science and Technology (S&T) technology needs (aka. “tech-needs”) as part of the AFSPC “future concepts portfolio” (collaboration from Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), DARPA, and others.) I provide the detailed understanding of the technology across multiple domains to perform campaign level utility analysis for capability and budgetary recommendations. • Performed a detailed analysis (in collaboration with other agencies) of the current space system architecture to identify resiliency gaps and provide effective future solutions to close capability gaps. This work is in alignment with broad scope Space Enterprise Vision (SEV) / Space Warfighting Construct (SWC) mission objective. This analysis is used to provide funding and capability recommendations to DoD leadership

• Investigating Quantum Gravity beyond Einstein’s General Relativity describing Space-time as an emergent, self-creating, quantized structure.o Allows one to obtain equations of motion for all quantum fields and derive basic conservation laws for all symmetries.o “Evolving logic” architectures applied to both classical and quantized group theories and the impacts to quantum gravity field theories.o Many-valued logic systems (e.g. Fuzzy logic, etc) applied to quantized Lie groups and Lie algebras.o Deformation of space-time in absence of source terms (from the background itself).o Mathematically describe how a self-emergent coordinate frame logic can modify the Einstein metric tensor and describe the experimentally measured galactic rotation curves without the need for exotic dark matter.• Photonuclear Fission with Quasi-Monoenergetic Electron Beams from Laser Wakefieldso Short-lived proton rich heavy isotopes and its impact to Type I supernova nucleosynthesis (S. A. Reed, et. al., “Photonuclear Fission with Quasi-Monoenergetic Electron Beams from Laser Wakefields” Applied Physics Letters 89, 231107 (2006).)
