TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE

1992 – April 2005       BOEING –  Phantom Works, Transformational Space Systems

                                              Senior Scientific Specialist, Systems Engineering

Analytical modeling of infrared and visible sensor systems for target identification and detailed object determination using state-of-the-art imaging techniques in support of Space Control and related programs.

Analytical modeling of exo-atmospheric multi-burst phenomenology and RF propagation through structured ionized media and resulting various space and ground systems performance as a result of natural and man-made radiation. Analyzed electronics devices and all systems components for radiation survivability.

Engineering technical support to various contracts within the proprietary engineering areas.  Principal accomplishments include:

•               Writing, modifying and porting major optical system simulation and analysis codes from PC platforms to UNIX workstations and IBM supercomputers.  Codes involved over 100 executable routines and 100K SLOC, while systems were undergoing continual updates and revisions.

•                Designed, developed and ran numerous FORTRAN programs to evaluate system performance, both through explicit computation of mathematical physics effects (e.g., propagation and scattering) and through emulation of physical effects, (e.g., using specialized filter/transfer functions).  Many codes involved computed interaction of EM radiation with 3D combinatorial object models.

1987 – 1992                  Rockwell - Space Systems Division

Performed numerical modeling and analysis of natural and man-made nuclear environments for GPS, FEWS, Brilliant Eyes, GBI, E²I and IR&D programs.  Demonstrated nuclear survivability of system and subsystem components, including determination of radiation effects in materials and electronics, and radiation transport as part of systems survivability for Space Systems contracts and proposals.  Performed numerical modeling and analysis of infrared atmospheric backgrounds and target signatures for sensor systems performance and analysis in support of various contracts and proposals.  Designated by the Defense  Threat Reduction Agency as the Rockwell representative to use and interpret the DTRA-state-of-the-art computer codes:  PUFF-TFT, SCENARIO, PRPSIM, MAPIT, GAMBIT, NORSE and other similar models.

1981 – 1987                  GENCORP – Aerojet Electro-Systems Division

Performed numerical modeling and analysis of natural and artificial radiation environments for system and electronics subsystem components survivability.  Computer code development and analysis of infrared backgrounds and targets for sensor systems performance and analysis for the DSP program and many proposals.

1973 – 1981                  Rockwell International – Satellite Systems Division

Performed numerical modeling and analysis of natural and artificial nuclear environments.  Demonstrated nuclear survivability of system and subsystem components, including determination of radiation effects in materials and electronics, and radiation transport as part of systems survivability.  Projects supported:  GPS, Teal Ruby, HAARS, HAADS, IR&D, and many others.  Performed as consultant on mainframe IBM scientific computer systems.

1971 – 1973                  Rockwell International – Autonetics

Minuteman ground systems real-time computer programming.

1964 – 1971                  Rockwell International – Satellite Systems Division

Computer code development of radiation environments, radiation shielding, radiation transport and analysis for both manned and unmanned near-earth space missions.  Supported Apollo, Apollo Applications, AFWL special contracts, NASA special contracts and IR&D programs.
