Curriculum Vitae

Applied research on AI agents and code intelligence, and advocacy for how agents change the way engineers work.

• Research and advocacy on agentic systems for software engineering.
• Custom subagent architectures and agent workflow patterns.

Project scientist for the NASA Astrophysics Data System and its expansion to the NASA Science Explorer, working on AI-powered search, NLP, entity extraction, embeddings, and knowledge-graph development.

Planetary scientist spanning telescopic observation, spacecraft data analysis, and laboratory and microgravity experiments on small-body and regolith processes.

• JWST spectroscopy of asteroids — water and hydroxyl on (16) Psyche, and linking the (142) Polana family to near-Earth asteroids Bennu and Ryugu.
• Artemis lunar dust-mitigation research for crewed surface operations.
• Mars grainflow and granular-transport studies.
• Saturn's ring structure from Cassini UVIS solar-occultation data.
• Europa Clipper mission science.

Continuing collaboration with the SciX / NASA ADS team on AI-powered scientific search, NLP, entity extraction, embeddings, and knowledge graphs.

Granular dynamics in microgravity, studied through experiments and simulations.
