Project Manager

Robotics Development Program at Mediamation/Wilshire Consulting, Summer 2013      

Successfully managed a small team of engineers to prototype, fabricate and test Phase 2 of an underwater R.O.V. Required management skills, organization and an understanding of all engineering aspects of the project. 

 Undergraduate Researcher

U.C.  San Diego, Summer 2013

Designed and published an algorithm for high dynamic range, quantitative IR imaging of CROW devices (see publications). Completed in the Micro/NanoPhotonics Group under Professor Mookherjea. 

Lab Assistant

College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, Fall 2009-Spring 2013

Developed compact optical isolators composed of polymer-based Mach-Zehnder interferometers and iron oxide nanoparticles. I was required to learn fabrication techniques such as photo-lithography and nanoparticle deposition. During my research there, I was elected to present my research to the Arizona Board of Reagent. Completed in the Electro-Optical and Magneto-Optical groups under Professor Norwood. For further insight on my work, please see publications.
