This is my second time here at the Optical Sciences Center. I
graduated from here in Dec. 1999 with a Bachelors in Optical Engineering.
After which I was offered a position at the Lockheed
Martin - Advanced Technology Center (LMATC) in Palo Alto, California.
While there, I worked on a number of R&D projects including optical
phased arrays, directed energy, polarimetry, and active imaging.
While working full-time Lockheed, I started taking Optical Science
classes through the UA distance
learning program. In 2006, I decided to move to Tucson to finish my
Master's degree and have since decided to enroll in the PhD program. I
still maintain my ties with Lockheed Martin working as a
"call-in" employee. However, these days most of my time is spent
on my studies and working for the university.
