I received my MS in Physics from The Wichita State University (Wichita, Kansas) working on Mössbauer study on rare earth material.
I received my MS and Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of Central Florida (Orlando, Florida) developing theoretical
models for laser beam propagation through the atmosphere, and also performing field experiments to verify and anchor these models.
My areas of interest include electro-magnetic wave propagation in random media, special functions,
image and signal processing, integral transforms, phenomenology modeling, random process, linear algebra, numerical analysis.
I started my professional post-graduate scientific career working at Terabeam corporation in Seattle, Washington.
The company business model was "the last mile solution" and intended to provide high speed internet connection through Free Space Optics (FSO)
in congested urban areas. The company no longer exist and its shares have been bought by other entities many times.
Next, I worked to for Mission Research Corporation (MRC), in their Dayton, OH, branch.
MRC was acquired by ATK, Alliant Techsystems in 2004. Then, 2015, it also became Orbital ATK.
Most of my activities there focused on modeling high energy laser
beam systems for the Airborn Laser (ABL) program.
I also did work on laser radar and on imaging through turbulence projects.
In June of 2009, I was hired by Raytheon to join the Modeling and Simulation group in Plano, TX.
I started working on radar systems then went back to EOIR.
I worked on modeling imaging systems made by Raytheon and other defense contractors,
that included ATFLIR, Hyper-Spectral and multip spectral imaging systems.
My employment with Raytheon ended in 2014.
Post Raytheon, I took a little bit of a break and got few items off my "bucket list".
Later on I taught in local community college in Texas (Dallas College Brookhaven Campus ) and in
Florida (St. Petersburg college and Hillsborough college).
Next I started wroking in real estate. In the process I developed grwoth/reversion models for few cities.
I developed quality of life models for given addresses in a city, that included several factors such as universities,
employment, income, health care, transportation, pollution, etc.
More recently, I became interested in financials. I also developed few models for stock price prediction based on
option pricing, treasury (30 and 10 years duration) pricing models, option profit stabilization models (an optimal bundle of
calls and puts with minimum delta and gamma), ex-div and insider filling trading strategies, and mis-priced option hunters, etc.
I have investigated many of the common myths about economy, investments in real estate, stock market and alternative investments.
I studied macro economics (fiscal and monetary policies) and its impact on GDP and different asset classes. Some of that
work can be found on my finance page.
Currently, I am almost a full time day trader and part-time consultant on couple of projects.
I always find myself with more ideas than what I have in tools, resources and time. I would like to find win-win match as far as
future. By that I mean a place where I can "sell" more expertise and make intellectual contribution than perform labor.
And perhaps provide some mentorship to more junior fellow workers.
