Welcome! As a member of DSCL, I work in the development of underwater vehicles aimed at enabling the advancement of basic ocean science.  My research focuses on issues related to precision, high-bandwidth navigation systems that are antecedent to improvements in oceanographic science and vehicle control.  I also investigate other issues related to submersibles, such as thrusters and hydrodynamic modeling.  Working in a wide variety of engineering specialties, I employ theoretical, analytical, and experimental methods to formulate and validate results.  Prior to joining Johns Hopkins, I worked in industry and academia in robotics, ocean engineering, and material sciences.  In all of these positions, I've sought innovative solutions to technical problems, using available technology when possible, developing new technologies when necessary.  Rather than bore you with all the details, just meander about the following pages to get a better idea of my work.
