I have 11 years of experience, and specialize in the field of aerospace and mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of aerospace structures, composite materials and design for uncertainty. I have published on such topics as structural optimization, composite structures and reliability based optimization. Have degrees in mechanical engineering, and engineering mechanics. Doctoral research was on aerospace structural design. Broad background allows me to have a holistic view of many engineering problems. Have worked on a variety of structural design optimization projects. My colleagues value my broad knowledge of things in engineering and solicit my input for research projects.
