I am presently an Electro-Optics Research Physicist.  The focus of my dissertation was in infrared spectral emissivity of combustion events and the development of a line-by-line radiative transfer model.

Previously I was a Lead Materials Scientist at the Materials & Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH.  My research interest were the investigation of the manufacturing process limit of carbon nanotubes and composite structures for air vehicles.  I gained experience managing multi-million dollar research programs for critical technologies and experience leading diverse team of scientist and engineers.   
My main research interests are: 
  • Electro-Optics
  • Polymers, Composite and Carbon Materials.
  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Molecular & Atomic Spectroscopy
