Bio

I am a researcher and manager with a passion for hard problems that are placed in front of me. I'm currently working at Supernal, trying to enable advanced air mobility vehicles to operate autonomously of an onboard pilot. I know a little about software, perception technologies, algorithms for autonomous vehicle operation, UAS, UAM, aeroelastic control and wind tunnel testing, structural control, cellular solids, adaptive structures, and morphing wing technologies.

I am always happy to share and talk about technology. I am also a member of the Diversity Working Group, specifically the Leadership, Growth, and Retention committee. That has been one of the most rewarding activities of my career and I am always available for DEIA related discussions.
