Thanks for stopping by.  I don’t intend this space to be much more than a simple portal into the different facets of my life.  I am a late-stage PhD student in the Aero/Astro department at MIT.  The focus of my work is the development of a theory of technology transfer in the National Airspace System.  As such, my research is interdisciplinary in nature, much of it focused in the fields of Product Diffusion, Estimation Theory, System Dynamics and Operations Research.  My personal life is varied as well, and is made complete by virtue of a loving wife and doting cat.  My active hobbies right now include the outdoors, cooking and computer tooling (i.e. benign hacking).  With respect to that last pursuit, I am a staunch advocate of the Open Source software movement.
