OBJECTIVE

Success in my current position.

SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES

• Passionate about solving complex problems and refining abstract ideas to useful applications; Broad knowledge of physics and mathematics and experience at acquiring deep knowledge of many fields; Ability to work on complex problems independently and as part of a group.
• Detailed knowledge of, and ability to use many computer operating systems (UNIX, Macintosh, Windows); Extensive experience with many different computer languages (Fortran, C, Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, Basic, TEX, HTML, AppleScript).
• Experience writing and executing parallel computer code using the MPI and mpich standards on different hardware (SGI/CRAY Origin 2000, Intel Linux cluster).
• Ability to rapidly master new theories and practices and solve long, difficult problems.
• Excellent people skills including working as a group member or group leader; Friendly, outgoing and work well with all types of people.
• Ability to adapt quickly to unfamiliar types of problems and areas of research, both by absorbing new material and by learning how to solve new types of problems.

EXPERIENCE

Research Staff at Systems Enginering Group, Inc. (2001-present)

• Acquired, developed, and refined complex but subtle Electro-Magnetic modeling techniques.
• Lead research and development efforts to produce high-fidelity Electro-Magnetic scattering predictions.
• Developed metrics to determine the fidelity of synthetic scattered field data.
• Contributed to the development of scattering center models for complex scattered field data.
