OBJECTIVES:
To utilize my skills in analysis, design, testing and operations of space
vehicles.
SKILLS:
Extensive experience modeling and analyzing dynamic spacecraft systems,
including flexible bodies, fuel slosh and motor drivers. I have firsthand
experience with the full life cycle of interplanetary spacecraft, including
design, analysis, testing and flight. Skilled in the use of Matlab/Simulink,
Adams, C++, Perl, Fortran, Unix Shell, mySQL, SQL Server, Apache, PHP,
Java and ASP. Trained in running MRO SoftSim simulation environment.
EDUCATION:
Doctor of Philosophy in Aerospace Engineering Sciences, May 1993.
University of Colorado at Boulder. Dissertation topic: Local Interaction
Control for Space Construction. Areas of specialization include rigid and
flexible body dynamics, multi-body dynamics, and control of flexible space
structures.
Master of Science in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, June1985.
Stanford University, Stanford, CA. Course work includes motion of
structures, Kane's dynamics, and spacecraft dynamics.
Bachelor of Science in Engineering Mechanics, June 1983. Lehigh
University, Bethlehem, PA.
