Work History

Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Raytheon Intelligence And Space
06.2022 - Current
  • Developed a tool in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Labs capable of numerically simulating the kinematics of HGVs
  • Performed analysis for the Missile Defense Agency focused on assessing the feasibility of using Arbitrary Wave Frequency Modulation for particular radar tasks, considering constraints such processing capacity and hardware limitations
  • Worked on the development of the environment used to train and test the US Army's TITAN software

Skills

  • Python
  • MATLAB
  • Discrete Event Simulation
  • Direct Numerical Simulation
  • Large Eddy Simulation
  • SimPy
  • Machine Learning
  • Matched Filtering

  • CFAR analysis

Research Experience

Deep Robot Optimal Perception Lab (Carnegie Mellon University)

  • Working on a project aimed at utilizing 2D diagrammatic sketches as an interaction modality for humans to give demonstrations to robots via Gaussian Splatting and 3D reconstruction
  • An additional objective of the project is to utilize those demonstrations to train a preference based reward model, and use it to learn a policy (via gradient based RL methods)

Flow Physics and Computational Research Lab at Penn State

  • Worked on a project focused on the application Large Eddy Simulation and Bayesian Optimization to optimize a cooling system commonly used in gas-turbine engines
  • Worked as a research assistant on a project aimed at developing a physics informed neural network capable of predicting quantities of interest in a temporally evolving stratified shear layer

Certification
