PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
1994 to Present Future Systems, Schenectady, NY 2000 to Principal Developmental Engineer, Advanced Technology Center Present
Researched and identified a modern replacement hardware architecture for existing real-time simulation/stimulation laboratory
Led the design and implementation of advanced fault-tolerant signal generation software on massively parallel DSP based
Researched, identified, and developed a high speed, data connecting an Intel Hypercube and a Sun Sparc workstation
Developed and implemented algorithms for rapid low rank updating and downdating of Choleski matrix factors. These algorithms are based on hyperbolic Householder transforms and are optimized for use with parallel processors. This is a new technology development for wide-band signal synthesis.
1998 to 2000 Senior Developmental Engineer, Precision Weapons Operation
Lead engineer in field of stability analysis for systems of spinning rigid and deformable bodies
Managed scheduling and work assignments for team of researchers
Awarded Keller Technical Achievement award for major contributions in the field of nonlinear dynamical system analysis
Led the development efforts for various real-time and non real-time simulations.
