Hi there! I am a senior staff research scientist at Lockheed Martin Space in Palo Alto, CA. I have worked a wide range of jobs over my almost 30 years in the aerospace/defense industry and really enjoyed it. I have done everything from research and writing papers, thermal modeling and model translation between programming languages, to seeing the big picture for our customers and writing requirements and interface documents. I have also worked some classified programs which I've really enjoyed. I am currently in the thermal sciences department of the Lockheed Martin Space Advanced Technology Center and am chair of the AIAA Thermophysics committee.
