PRIOR RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Scientific Display Applets (Sept 1997 - Sept 1999).  Developed a series of applets that simulated scientific

displays at the National Science Foundation's Fort Discovery in Augusta, GA.  Formulated Runge-Kutta algorithms to simulate motion.

Battlefield Situation Awareness Demonstration using the Modified Semi-Automated Forces (ModSAF) simulation, C++,  Berkeley Sockets, and Perl-formatted data (Sept 1996 – Sept 1997). Programmed and assembled a battlefield situation awareness demonstration for ModSAF.

Database Applications in C/Motif (July 1992 – Sept 1996).  Developed a family of Motif applications in “C” to interface ARL's Information Distribution System.

Personnel Vulnerability (1987 – 1992).  Team lead in development of the Atomic Task Methodology to map

physical injury to degraded performance for the individual soldier.  Integrated a vendor-developed bullet

sub-model into the ComputerMan software package, and validated said sub-model.  Evaluated a

vendor-developed wound ballistics simulation.  Corrected a long standing programming error in

ComputerMan that prevented projectiles from stopping.  Conducted a literature survey of grenade

fragment size optimization, did a survey of human performance models as candidates for crew

casualty research, and installed and debugged a contractor-developed microwave vulnerability program.

Performed a least-squares regression analysis of the BRL-derived personnel vulnerability

equations, allowing analysts to establish new equation parameters with a reduction in computer

overhead of two orders of magnitude.  Replaced the velocity-retardation parameter set

with a more accurate set, derived from empirical data.  Wrote a new velocity retardation algorithm,

replacing numerical integration with closed-form integration to reduce computer run-time.

Radiation Transport (1982 –1989).  Was the first to recognize the need for new standard deviation

bounds for radiation transport calculations in the adjoint mode, and determined the bounds necessary

for consistent results.  Instructed in-branch personnel and visiting scientist in radiation transport

simulations.  Wrote radiation shielding algorithm for selected light transport vehicles in a fallout field,

to help determine the army’s ability to re-supply troops following a tactical nuclear strike.  Ported

radiation transport codes from a CDC main frame computer to the CRAY-XMP.  Used real-world

radiation transport measurements in a heavily-shielded structure (RTK) to determine need for a new

cross-section set and a more finely divided quadrature set in Vehicle Code System (VCS) calculations,

and was responsible for the transportation of the RTK from Federal Republic of Germany, acting

as the liason between US Army personnel in Germany and the US.  Calculated radiation hazard

posed by depleted uranium ammunition from first principles and investigated the effect of advanced

armors on radiation shielding characteristics of the Mobile Protected Gun System (MPSG), using

source biasing to reduce computer run time.  Investigated the non-destructive interrogation of armor arrays

using a neutron source, writing a specialized detector-array algorithm.
