Postdoctoral Research Associate: Various aspects
of information assurance research, especially security
and peer-to-peer networking. |

Experimental Physicist: Developed analytical
techniques for selecting specific particle decays in a
high-background environment. Involved use of optimal
parameter estimators and uncertainties (via Kalman
filtering) for precise geometric and kinematic
constraints, intensive statistical analysis of signal
and background behaviors to maximize expected signal
significance (based on theory), and Monte Carlo
simulation methods. |

Software Developer: Heavily involved in developing
the C++ object model for the CLEO Collaboration's
CLEO III experiment. Participated in many software
projects, including: wrapping legacy Fortran code
for Kalman filtering of tracks; implementing the
software description of the CLEO III drift chamber;
developing and maintaining objects for Physics-level
access to data; providing extensive documentation
via HTML; writing perl scripts to perform various
tasks ranging from auto-generation of code to
source- and data-locating utilities; and consulting
on object and build-system design. |

Software Librarian: Maintained code base for
the CLEO Collaboration's CLEO II and CLEO II.V
experiments, consisting of several hundred thousands
of lines of
code, and servicing 150+ users. Included fixing and
updating "abandoned" packages, incorporating changes
from code authors, handling changes due to operating
system and compiler upgrades, managing the CVS
repository, coordinating weekly and monthly releases,
updating web pages, and handling user requests. |
