About

Formerly a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration where I worked on gravitational waves. My research involved signal analysis, statistical analysis, Bayesian inference, and working on novel machine learning uses that aim to assist, rather than replace, current computational methods.

Experience

  • Senior AI Engineer at MITRE
    Mar 2025 - Present · 1 yr 5 mos

  • Contracted Data Scientist at Nousot
    Dec 2024 - Feb 2025 · 3 mos

  • Provost’s Fellow at The University of Texas at Austin
    Aug 2018 - Dec 2024 · 6 yrs 5 mos

    Designed and implemented software that proved the effectiveness of novel waveforms used to search for exotic objects (objects which are not black holes or neutron stars). Containerized, parallelized, and performed large scale computations across high performance computing (HPC) clusters. Analytically derived and coded folded kernels for a statistical inference framework, iDQ, to better classify non-Gaussian noise artifacts in LIGO’s real-time timeseries data. Performing research that involves signal analysis, statistical analysis, Bayesian inference, and working on novel machine learning uses that aim to assist, rather than replace, current computational methods. Member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the GstLAL (a low latency Bayesian driven data analysis pipeline) group.

  • Visiting Researcher at Caltech
    Sep 2022 - Dec 2022 · 4 mos

    Led a project that improved gravitational wave (GW) search sensitivity by designing a method that utilizes streaming classification and detector sensor data. Worked on a machine learning model that aims to increase the performance of low latency parameter estimation through the use of waveform interpolation. Explored physics informed neural nets (PINNs) and ultimately accelerated our gravitational wave matched filter calculations.

  • Post Baccalaureate Intern at Los Alamos National Laboratory
    Jun 2015 - Sep 2017 · 2 yrs 4 mos

    Proton radiography modeling and simulations that utilized high performance computing (HPC) techniques. Converted modeling code to be CUDA compatible and developed a Qt phone application.
