* Responsible for the company's core optimization algorithm, which allocates demand to available inventory with the goal of maximizing performance while satisfying designed constraints.

* Developed a new product that uses contextual information to predict advertising vertical performance, resulting in a product performance lift of 30% compared to baseline.* Analyzed auction prices on an open exchange channel and developed a bidding strategy that maximizes margin based on theoretical considerations of second price auctions.

* Created a nonstandard analysis method utilizing archival telescope observations to estimate a gamma-ray flux background. This procedure was applied to observations of the Coma galaxy cluster and found an excess of gamma-ray emission that has never been seen before in any galaxy cluster.* Designed, assembled, and commissioned the optical alignment system.

* Classes taught: Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Statistical Mechanics, Mathematical Methods

* Constructed a Monte Carlo procedure to take a diffraction pattern produced by a beam composed of two distinct wavelengths and decompose the single wavelength pattern.* Implemented the novel keyhole coherent diffraction imaging technique, capable of diffraction-limited imaging of materials through an iterative phase retrieval process.
