Summary

Two years of computer modeling/consultancy experience dealing with diverse clients in the public (Houston wastewater system engineers and administrators) and private (Sandia Labs) sectors.

Excellent ability to build policy/decision-support models, using tools from "hard" (linear programming, optimal control, game theory) and "soft" (system dynamics) operations research. Skills to help both strategic "systems" thinking and low-level detail analysis.

Methodical, persistent and goal-oriented. Ph. D., 2 Master’s degrees, Bachelor’s in engineering.

8 Years of graduate research experience employing quantitative methods.

First Class with Distinction in Management. GRE: Math (800/800) and English (750/800), top 2%.
