About Me

I recently completed my Ph.D. in Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology, where I had been a student since January 2002. My advisor in CDS was Richard Murray, and my thesis research was with Christof Koch on problems in computational neuroscience. I am grateful for the fellowship support of the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. I am currently engaged in postdoctoral research based on my thesis work, as well as working as an attitude control systems engineer at JPL, where I began working full-time in December 2007 after intermittently working there over the previous 7 years.

I received my B.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington in December 2001. While at the UW I received support from a Mary Gates Research Training Grant and a Mercury Seven Astronaut Scholarship.

My CV can be found here.
