Goal: To use my skills to solve real-world engineering and scientific problems. I have worked on a

US Navy destroyer, P3 Orion aircraft, and participated on data collects around the world. I am adept at

field analysis and data/equipment troubleshooting and like to travel.

I have a broad and deep knowledge of science that has helped me supervise engineers on a variety of

projects ranging from microbial fuel cell development to precision pointing of airborne hyperspectral

infrared sensors. Strong background in electronics. Good public speaker. I especially enjoy field work

and am willing to travel. Current company is losing funding so I'm ready to move on. Member of

InfraGard. Excellent with computers with a preference for Linux/Unix systems. In the past year I've

had to maintain our corporate Windows servers and have become the IT manager for Pukoa Scientific.

Education:

- PhD in Geology and Geophysics (infrared remote sensing of planetary surface compositions)

December 2000 from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Dissertation: Near-Infrared Spectral Dependence On Temperature for Mafic Minerals,

Meteorites, and Lunar Soils: Implications for Asteroid and Lunar Science

- BS in Physics from the University of Maryland at College Park, May 1992.

Experience:

2007 to present - Senior Scientist and Linux Systems Administrator for Pukoa Scientific LLC.

Algorithm prototyping for detection, tracking, and navigation; data analysis; hardware

selection; supervision of engineers on various projects; project status reports and presentations;

secure Linux data server administration; local Windows network administration and Facility

Security Officer. I am fluent in IDL (Interactive Data Language) and competent in MatLab.

2002 to 2007 - Senior Scientist and Linux Systems Administrator for Innovative Technical

Solutions (d.b.a. NovaSol).

Infrared hyperspectral data analysis and algorithm development using IDL. I am familiar

with anomaly detection algorithms: (SS)RX, GSC, and SAM particularly in the NIR.

I managed the calibration, and wrote the calibration software, for a new VNIR hyperspectral

prototype sensor. My later work was on In Scene Atmospheric Correction (ISAC) of

remotely sensed LWIR data. Many data collects in the field: flight certified for Navy P-3

aircraft.

Navigation algorithms for the analysis, repair, and reconstruction of push-broom sensor

hyperspectral data. I prototyped navigation algorithms in IDL for translation into C for real-time

execution. Navigation is not what I studied in school but I have become proficient at this.

2000-2002 - Research Assistant University of Hawaii, Spectral Technologies Group

1994-2000 - Graduate Assistant University of Hawaii, Institute for Geophysics and Planetology

1993-1994 - Engineering Assistant University of Hawaii, Spectral Technologies Group

Duties at the University of Hawaii included:

NIR and LWIR data analysis and reduction.

Electronic equipment construction and troubleshooting

Cryogenic systems engineering

Data management

Instrument deployment and operation

Graduate studies in Planetary Geosciences toward a Geology and Geophysics PhD.

1990-1993 - University of Maryland, College Park, studies in Physics and graduate work in

Astronomy. Built ECL to TTL logic converters for electron scattering experiments.

1985-1989 - United States Navy

US Navy preferred veteran (Armed Forces Expeditionary medal)

Discharge from active duty during service aboard the USS Goldsborough (DDG-20)

RE-R1 reenlistment code in December 1989.

Good Conduct medal

Armed Forces Expeditionary medal

Sea Service Award,.

Interior Communications Electrician 2nd Class with specialties in closed circuit TV systems.

1984-1985 - Chief Engineer, University of Maryland AM/FM radio stations in College Park Md.

Skills:

Data analysis on UNIX and Windows platforms using IDL and ENVI.

Experience with a broad range of IR detectors, imagers, and cryogenic systems.

Deep physics background.

Electronic equipment repair design and construction.

Fluent in UNIX, Linux, and many flavors of Windows.

I think well on my feet and am a good presenter.

Status:

U.S. Citizen

Access and eligible for U.S. Government Security.
