Programming Projects
Amphibious Aircraft Gear Warning System 
Approximate Dates: 11/08-9/09 
 
Language: C++ 
Operating System: Linux and Windows
      Wrote a program for an embedded device to produce 
appropriate audio and visual warnings based on real-time GPS 
position, an airport location database, and relay board data 
providing the aircraft's gear position.  The need for real-time data 
required an optimized database search algorithm, as well as the use of USB 
drivers and the gpsd daemon.
Implementing a Spray Model into an Adaptive Mesh Refinement 
Code  
Approximate Dates: 7/96-8/01 
 
Language: C++ and FORTRAN 
Operating System: Linux and Unix
       Implemented a discrete spray model into a low Mach, 
Navier-Stokes code that employs adaptive mesh refinement.  Spray submodels 
included aerodynamic drag, turbulence, droplet oscillation and distortion, 
breakup, evaporation, and collision and coalescence.  Special provisions 
for the treatment of the spray within the adaptive mesh refinement 
framework were also developed. 
See my dissertation for more details. 
Cross-Correlation of Magnetic Features Code
Aproximate Dates: 6/93-7/94 
 
Language: FORTRAN 
 
Operating System: Unix
       Wrote a program to cross-correlate pairs of magnetic sunspot 
data over a twenty-five year data set to determine the direction and 
magnitude of the flow of the sun's photosphere with respect to latitude 
and solar cycle.
