Served as the Aero-Effects subject matter expert for AFRL/RD.

Designed, built, and tested an Adaptive-Optics test bed for the purpose of risk reduction for the STRAFE program at Northrop Grumman. The test bed simulated aberrations caused by atmospheric disturbances, speckle, and aero-optical disturbances using a variety of phase wheels. To model a deformable mirror a spatial-light-modulator was used. The system was able to demonstrate real time disturbance mitigation and serves as a platform for testing more complex predictive control algorithms.

Technical Advisor, project manager, and consultant for ProMazo, Inc. Promazo is a consulting startup geared towards finding students relevant and interesting work with top companies nationwide. I helped grow ProMazo from a company consulting on a local scale, to one that now does work for many Fortune 500 companies including Google, IBM, NBC, Goldman-Sachs, and Trans-Union. Moved from a project manager role, leading a successful software project generating $60,000 in revenue to a technical project capture role. I now serve as a technical advisor within the project capture team helping to generate new business for ProMazo. To date I have worked to bring in over $300,000 of revenue in new business.

Developed and executed an experimental test plan to investigate key parameters of several passive flow control devices. The devices consisted of a single spanwise row of vertically-placed small-diameter pins. Currently working on developing new methods of mitigating aero-optical problems by leveraging the advective nature of aberrations to aid in latency-tolerant adaptive- optic control architecture.
