Objective To obtain an entry-level position in aerospace, remote-sensing, or biomedical industries.
Education M.S. in Industrial Mathematics, with a focus in computational physics/engineering 8/03-05/05
The goal of this program is to produce generalized
problem solvers of great versatility, capable of moving within an organization
from task to task. The graduate will have studied not only the standard
mathematical and statistical tools, but also the basic ideas of engineering and
business, and will have received training in project development and in modes
of industrial communication.
Broad Management and Communication Certificate
A series of week-end workshops covering the topics: Marketing Management, Financial Management, Managerial Accounting, The Legal Environment of Business, Micro and Macro Economics, Project Management, Writing for Clarity, Group Communication, Presentation Skills, Negotiation and Consensus Building.
GPA: 3.75/4.00, 18/36 graduate credits completed.
B.S. in Applied Mathematics, with a minor in Physics 8/97-12/01
Thesis Title: “Deconvolution of scattered acoustic fields for ultrasonic imaging,” advised by Doug Mast
GPA: 3.85/4.00
Industrial Project: DaimlerChrysler Corp.
With two team-members, we studied the conformability of engine piston rings to a distorted cylinder bore. We simulated the problem in MATLAB and plan to publish some of our results in SAE.
Stochastic Processes
Research, model and simulate ultrasound systems. Currently building a simulator using C and MATLAB using advanced
numerical methods. Apply to problems in linear and phased array imaging and beamforming.
Institute for Pure and Applied Math 7/01-8/01
University of California at Los Angeles
Research Intern
Researched remote-sensing problems for Arete Associates with two team- members. Implemented and delivered code in C++
and Matlab. Summarized results in an oral and written presentation.
Applied Research Lab (ARL) 5/00-6/01
Research Assistant
Researched acoustic and signal-processing problems. Adapted and implemented methods in Matlab, Fortran and C. Wrote a
comprehensive summary of results in an ARL Math Honors Thesis.
