A Systems Engineer / Research Scientist with active security clearance seeking full-time

SUMMARY:

permanent position. Demonstrated ability to research, design, create, teach and present novel solutions for

complex problems in areas of aircraft simulation and training. Envisions profitable solutions through research,

leadership and teamwork; adapts to change and adds value quickly.

Ph.D., Computer Engineering

EDUCATION: 2010

University of Central Florida Orlando, FL

M.S., Computer Engineering 1998

University of Central Florida Orlando, FL

B.S., Electrical Engineering 1993

University of Florida Gainesville, FL

Systems Engineer Sr. II / Research Scientist / Analyst 2009-Present

EMPLOYMENT:

L3 Communications - LINK Simulation and Training IRAD. Orlando, FL

Provided systems design and knowledge engineering for simulator immersive

autonomous training within a UH-60 helicopter aircraft simulator. Real-time HUD-

Simulator virtual lessons displace the instructor and achieve traini ng in 1/3 of the

time. Applied artificial intelligence, speech recognition/synthesis, ISD, biometrics

and multimodal interfaces in the creation of instructor/student models that

provide inference and feedback through live data monitoring using a CxBR

approach. Provided logic and stochastic models that monitor the training and the

interaction with the man-machine interfaces.

Leveraged UH-60 immersive artificial intelligence prototype technologies for fixed

wing aircraft: Managed, designed, supervised and delivered in a month and

immersive training prototypes for T1A aircraft. Provided knowledge engineering

and transfer to rules for an F-16 simulator prototype that defines schoolhouse

training and future product lines. Designed and delivered a real -time

performance assessment module for the F-16 prototype extracting real-time

information from rules execution.

Researched and designed prototypes that leverage Intelligent Tutor

Technologies to monitor training and through a virtualized 3D maintenance

trainer. Gray Eagle UAV Maintenance Trainer Simulator, prototype leverages

internal technologies used in demonstration that influenced a positive contract

award decision.

Leveraged GOTS and COTS technologies to virtually replace internal and

external ASOC positions by intelligent agents for Wright-Patterson Air Force

Base cooperative research. Joint Theater Air to Ground Simulation System

(JTAGSS) Air Space Operations Center (ASOC) simulation trainer. Provided ICD

design for all hardware/software subcontracted interfaces. Typical applications

interfaces include SWIC, JADOCS, TACP-CASS, MACE (SAF), and a custom

IOS.

Performed as a technical liaison between executive, R&D director and

engineering teams scouting technology, presenting metrics and trends

information regarding future technologies. Leveraged IRAD technologies and

provided support and updates to executive and business development teams

about future technology. Able to disseminate complex technologies and provide

information at a glance.

J. Carlos Leon-Barth

Designed and Architected R & D projects. Created innovative solutions from

concept to prototype that leverage discriminatin g technologies applied to military

aircraft simulation and training. Provided knowledge engineering,

requirements/design, technical documentation, information/data analysis, ICDs,

testing procedures, usability interface design, user interface heuristic

evaluations, and process optimization for all aspects of the project. Served as a

SME in technology evaluations.

Managed technical and artistic resources, developed project work plans,

conducted technical review meetings, managed stakeholder issues, and

delivered technical presentations.

Analyzed the stochastic performance assessment module using Bayes Inference

models, used in L3’s Maritime Liquid Cargo simulator. Provided analysis and

methods for use in other training products.

Created roadmaps for the development of self-paced training scenarios.

Provided engineering storyboards, knowledge diagrams that describe the

courseware flow considering ISD, trainee’s KSA and SME training style and feel

for the aircraft. Provided with quality assurance for prototype. Coordinated the

development, graphic design and courseware rendering teams. Worked with ISD

director in ISD process and MMI modifications to address immersive variable

training environments.

Analyzed a C-17 School House for process flow optimization. Scheduling and

process optimization research. Analysis in content optimization & creation that

results in changes to LINK visual database storage procedures, optimizing cloud

storage.

Studied C-17 refueling for immersive technologies integration, to train pilots on

simulator refueling tasks. Designed and provided training storyboards for

intelligent training sequences and speech text interactions.

Studied brain activity and eye scanning, using Enotiv headset in search of

patterns to detect pilot state. Eye Tracker provided data regarding eye scanning

patterns in HUD.

Provided architecture and project support for Blue Box HD (BBHD): prototype

simulator that leverages avatar, speech recognition and synthesis within a

proprietary UAV simulator to research pilot stress while exposed to diverse

stimuli. Wright-Patterson Air force Base cooperative study.

PhD, Work – Researcher & Visiting Lecturer, University of Central Florida 2003-2009

Phoneme-Based Video Indexing Using Phonetic Disparity Search: Use of speech Orlando, FL

recognition and synthesis to index videos for cloud storage. Further optimized

search video search algorithms.

NSF funded LIFELIKE National Science Foundation (NSF) project: “Towards

Lifelike Computer Interfaces that Learn”. Immortalization of Dr. Alex

Schwarzkopf as an intelligent avatar.

Ph.D. Research – PEOSTRI: Army Future Combat Systems (FCS) bandwidth

optimization study based on an Omnet++ simulation. Applied research for

RDECOM/SAIC/BOEING for SOSCO communications simulator, & MITRE

COMPOSER communications effects simulator.
