      Researched techniques for estimating flight envelopes and finding safe transitions between trim conditions for aircraft that have suffered an alteration in their dynamics, such as a loss of control event. This project was supported by NASA and its related advancements encompass much of the work during the third and fourth year of my graduate work. Developed a neural network based approach to automatically segment and measure thicknesses and changes of retinal layers in optical coherence… Show more Researched techniques for estimating flight envelopes and finding safe transitions between trim conditions for aircraft that have suffered an alteration in their dynamics, such as a loss of control event. This project was supported by NASA and its related advancements encompass much of the work during the third and fourth year of my graduate work. Developed a neural network based approach to automatically segment and measure thicknesses and changes of retinal layers in optical coherence tomography images in conjunction with the Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit, MI. Worked with the Ford Motor company to develop a fuel-efficient, adaptive cruise control system. This project, and its related advancements, encompasses much of the work during the first two year of my graduate work and continued to a lesser extent until the end of my doctorate. From May 2010 to August 2010 investigated methods of optimally scheduling a mixed fleet of vehicles for fuel efficiency.

      I continued my work on the stochastic fuel efficient cruise control. I performed vehicle testing of my algorithm in real world driving conditions. I worked regularly with Ford staff and submitted regular reports and presentations to my superiors. I continued my work on the stochastic fuel efficient cruise control.
