RESEARCH
EXPERIENCE |
Spring
2005 - Present JILA - Phil Armitage's Group
Boulder, CO Research Assistant Performed
numerical simulations using OpenMP and MPI parallelized grid based
hydrodynamic and Magnetohyrodynamic Fortan and C based codes to study a
variety of physical and astrophysical phenomena ranging from relativistic
jets to black hole – molecular cloud mergers.
Wrote and designed routines in IDL, C, and Fortran to handle the shell
scripting, data analysis and visualization of terabyte sized data sets. Developed numerical routines to add physics
to existing codes as well as to efficiently solve complex numerical
equations. Published in multiple, peer-reviewed journals. Presented several talks to faculty and
students. Oversaw the development,
implementation and analysis of multiple, concurrent projects. Collaborated on local, national, and
international research projects. 2004 - 2005
SWRI - Solar Physics
Group Boulder, CO Research Assistant Modeled
the thermal response of satellite hardware using IDL. Developed image
filtering/manipulation routines image and data analysis routines to examine
sounding rocket solar images. Summer
2000 Physics Department Temple University Research Assistant Conducted
research and performed computer modeling in project to detect a candidate for
dark matter. Responsibilities included object modeling using “Maxwell’s 3D
Simulator” (an AutoCAD like program designed to measure electrical and
magnetic field forces), examining naturally occurring radiation output from a
steel containment chamber, and information analysis. 1996
