RESEARCH
My research can be grouped into three core thrust areas: flight simulation, life science robotics, and machine learning. See below a summary of current research in each of these areas. You can click on the images to obtain more details.
FLIGHT SIMULATION
Developed the world’s first framework for modeling the formations of the Navy Blue Angels
Built two highly agile simulators with world-class capabilities for simulating acrobatic maneuvers
Published a model of the flight controls of tragic Air France Flight 447 which was well received and has implications for aviation safety
Led a team of 7 to create a space simulation in use at the Flieschmann Planetarium, the Northern Nevada Challenger Center, and the Nevada Space Center
LIFE SCIENCE ROBOTICS
Worked with sales team to deploy over $8 million in robotics
11 years of experience, including a year as Director of Software
Specialist in forensic crime sample analysis. Deep knowledge of GlobalFiler and DNA IQ automation
Oversaw development of standard solutions at Hamilton Robotics
“Fast-minded, very well organized, super hard worker, deeply compromised with his job duties and a nice person to work with.” - a review from Alvaro Cuevas, Hamilton Vantage Product Manager
AI AND MACHINE LEARNING
Over 2.5 years of coursework taken in AI, particularly in deep neural nets for natural language processing
Developed a model for predicting the outcome of property auctions in Washoe County, Nevada with a 3 year track record
Over 330 properties analyzed using assessor, GIS, and zillow as data sources
“Autonomous systems will have the ability to impact aviation for years to come.” The “loyal wingman” project is a critical piece of that formula.
