I have been working with: (1) real-time benchmarking on COTS parallel processors, (2) Networks of Workstatios (NoW) technology using networking equipment from Myricom, (3) consulting with the Joint National Test Facility (JNTF) at Falcon AFB, Colorado as they modernize their high performance computing and networking infrastructure. I had the opportunity to review the state of HPCC after Supercomputing '95 in a Corporate-wide briefing. Some of my work examining real-time processing on the MasPar has been submitted to SC'96. While work at MITRE has been interesting lately, the pay leaves something to be desired. Consequently, I will be checking out the job market in the near future. References are important --- if you have no reservations, I would appreciate placing you at the head of my list of references. I would also appreciate a written reference for my files. I have enclosed an html version of my updated resume. My home address is listed in the header. If there are any questions, I can be reached at work at 315 336-4966 (if I am in town), at home at 315 821-6557 or by email.

OVERVIEW

An experienced, creative, results-oriented Scientist/Engineer with a demonstrated ability to perform research, systems analysis, and systems development/integration. Experience in implementing algorithms for parallel computers, benchmarking real-time applications on parallel computers, evaluating high performance computing and communications (HPCC) systems for computer modernization, and networking with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology. Highly-motivated, competent, and reliable individual who understands the importance of teamwork. Desire a "take-charge" position that will stimulate professional and personal growth and encourage individual initiative and creativity.

PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE

To utilize my research, development, and integration skills to advance the state-of-the-art in high performance computing and high performance computer networking.

RECENT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Researched high performance computing and networking issues on Network of Workstations (NoW) technology.

Consulted with the Joint National Test Facility (JNTF) at Falcon Air Force Base on a state-of-the-art modernization of their supercomputing and networking facility.

Expressed my views on the state of high performance computing and networking technology in a corporate-wide MITRE presentation.

Developed and implemented benchmarking techniques to examine the feasibility of using commercial-off-the-shelf high-performance computers for real-time signal processing applications.

Implemented an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) satellite broadcast network using Direct Broadcast Satellite System (DSS) ground stations that carried ATM-based video, audio, and data.

Lead a research task for joint experimentation and testing of ATM communications technology.

Developed and implemented algorithms on parallel computers for power systems operation and control.

Developed applications for ATM-based communications networks.

Evaluated early ATM technology with hands-on experience.

Researched and implemented distributed object-oriented technology for human-in-control, real-time modeling and simulation.
