  + Developed software to process data from local radar, wind lidar, and NOAA’s High Resolution Rapid Refresh model in order to drive an extremely high-resolution, real-time atmospheric model. + Prototyped algorithms for displaying real-time atmospheric model output in a web app based on CesiumJS. + Produced high quality visualizations of atmospheric model output data for use in scientific presentations and reports to the customer. + Worked closely with chief scientists to generate software requirements in order to implement and test individual components. + Researched, prototyped, and implemented a radially adaptive wavelet filter algorithm to reduce noise in Rama-shifted Eye-safe Aerosol LIDAR images resulting in 20% increase in operational range. + Prototyped an algorithm to estimate the density of human clutter in high-resolution arial photographs for use in a dengue fever vector prediction model. + Compiled and ran large, research-grade, parallel-computing-enabled, atmospheric modeling tools.

• Advanced Development Intern

  • May 2008 - Jun 2010

  + Electromagnetic Navigation Simulator: Wrote a Matlab program to simulate the generation, measurement, and localization of magnetic field based navigation systems. + Magnetic Field Interpolation: Explored various basis functions and coordinate systems to try to improve the accuracy of interpolation of a magnetic field in a volume. + Image Guided Surgery Toolkit: Added Medtronic specific classes, algorithms, and test applications to the open source, cross-platform, C++ based toolkit known as IGSTK. This project also required me to learn to use the cross-platform, open-source make program CMake as well as various other toolkits including ITK, VTK, and FLTK.

• Associate Controls Engineer

  • May 2005 - Jul 2007

  Primary responsibilities included programming and debugging the robot and vi- sion systems used in high speed pick and place applications. Additionally, I was in charge of testing, running, and debugging complete systems for pre-commissioning. Secondary responsibilities included helping with system builds, industrial wiring, troubleshooting and installation of complete systems.
