Work Experience

NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE INTELLIGENCE CENTER / WPAFB, OH / CHEMICAL ENGINEER / APRIL 1999 - PRESENT

Part of spectral analysis team that supported NASA and FEMA in the search, detection, and recovery of Space Shuttle Columbia debris; first operational proof of spectral technology.

Participated in spectral analysis support of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita efforts.

Evaluate new spectral sensors to determine military utility and potential for operational use.

Team leader in a discovery and innovation laboratory resulting in the a virtual monitoring station and first virtual wargame.

Spectral, thermal, and radar training manager responsible for training development, implementation and certification with 85% success rate.

Spectral Analyst serving in the exploitation of spectral data to current operational and R&D efforts, including team and contractor oversight, timely analysis of spectral data, develop working standards, and spectral product quality control oversight.

Attend and speak at national level working groups and technical conferences.

Technical Advisor to the Adaptive Signature Generation program.

Publish up to 10 technical R&D spectral and lidar GEOINT reports and white papers yearly.

Modeled liquid rocket engine technology using mathematical calculations in attempts to reverse engineer flight dynamics and physical properties of new technology being developed.

Developed liquid rocket propellant chemical and thermodynamic physical property database in conjunction with Lockheed Martin in Denver, Colorado.

SOUTHWESTERN OHIO COUNCIL FOR HIGHER EDUCATION / WPAFB, OH / UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEER CONTRACTOR / MAY 1996 – AUGUST 1998

Fabricated and studied advanced polymer matrix composite materials along with aluminum and aluminum honeycomb panels.

Applied state-of-the-art aluminum surface preparations; including grit-blast silane, Sol Gel application, and acid anodizing of panels for adhesive bonding.

Conducted tensile and compression strength tests according to ASTM standard mechanical testing.

Studied the strength of five different resin adhesives as a function of different cure temperature/pressure cycles, environmental conditions, and temperature.

Performed environmental conditioning of aluminum and composite materials to determine effect on structural strength.
