Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Princeton, NJ Scientific Programmer Summer 2023–Present

As a member of the Modeling Systems Division, I work on Pace, an atmospheric physics model, in collaboration with NOAA and NASA. Pace is dependent on three other packages; NDSL, the NOAA-NASA Domain Specific Language middleware layer, which provides access to the GridTools for Python (GT4Py) and Data Centric

(DaCe) packages, pyFV3, a Python version of Finite Volume Cubed Sphere Dynamical core (FV3), and pySHiELD, a Python version of the FV3 Global Forecast System (GFS) physics model. Alongside the Pace project, I work on pyFMS, a Python package which provides access to the Flexible Modeling System (FMS), a Fortran infrastructure package for constructing and running atmospheric, ocean and climate system models. My other responsibilities include repository management and technical assistance to model users. 1/3

Stockton University Pomona, NJ

Adjunct Professor of Physics Fall 2022–Spring 2023 I held lecture courses on introductory physics topics, including but not limited to; mechanics, optics, and thermal physics.

Ocean County College Toms River, NJ

Professional Physics Tutor Fall 2022–Summer 2023

I assisted students with test preparation, homework completion, and lecture recitation. I currently tutor in college algebra, calculus, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, introductory chemistry, classical and modern physics.

University of Houston Houston, TX

Graduate Research Assistant Spring 2018–Summer 2022 In collaboration with the HUNTER project, working on the design and fabrication of a detector for sterile neutrinos as a source for dark matter. I was directly involved in the simulation of the x-ray detection system using Geant4. From the simulation results I also developed two methods of position localization of an incident photon, one involving an Anger algorithm and another employing a k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm. Both methods can be scaled to changes in the technology and sensitivity of the detector.

University of Houston Houston, TX

Graduate Teaching Assistant Fall 2016–Fall 2018

Introduced recitation of theoretical concepts from lecture which were the core material for the lab exercise that day. Assisted students in the completion of the lab exercise. I was also responsible for grading their reports, quizzes and exams.

Stockton University Pomona, NJ

Undergraduate Research Assistant Fall 2013–Spring 2015 I assisted in the development of an experimental approach to network analysis through the use of electronic circuits. My work involved the fabrication of the circuits, which were then controlled and measured through a data aquisition terminal, MatLab hardware manager, and a C based algorithm.

Nipro Glass Americas Millville, NJ

Junior Chemist 2011

I was responsible for preforming regulatory analysis on glass samples utilizing inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, xray fluorescence, annealstrain testing, and glass abuse testing. I also conducted experiments to determine the stability of materials under normal stress conditions for quoting the shelf life of the products tested.

Stockton University Pomona, NJ

Undergraduate Research Assistant Fall 2009–Spring 2010 I developed a solidstate synthesis method of N,N diethylenediamine copper(II) perchlorate for my senior thesis. This method is now used as part of the introductory chemistry laboratory course.

Stockton University Pomona, NJ

Undergraduate Research Assistant Spring 2008–Fall 2008 I helped perform DNA characterization of algal growth samples uncovered by glacial recessions in Iceland. My primary responsibility was to conduct polymerase chain reactions to increase the quantity of DNA recovered from colonies grown from soil samples.
