equipment mechanical design and testing; implementing, in computer 
software, simulations of components or systems; literature searches; 
"question finding"-- technical aspects of proposal development, 
recommending topics our groups would be capable of studying.  
    My engineering, R&D, and Science Applications computer usage have 
been thoroughly intertwined.

                             S/W Developed: 
        Programs for math modeling, graphics, data reduction were 
produced, extended, or used.  
  Implemented solvers for Vector Ordinary Differential Equation Systems, 
Initial Value Problems,-- Euler, 1'st order, Runga-Kutta 4'th order; 
  Wrote various problem definitions used by above-- exponential growth, 
Van der Pol's equation; Multi-body dynamics; 2 degree of freedom flight 
trajectories over circular planet with thrust lift & drag; Chemical 
kinetics for NO + F2 ; outline for more generalized chemical kinetics, 
with heat generation also.  
   Provided for calculations, tabulation options, of potential curve and 
discrete energy levels of diatomic molecules, given either molecular 
constants, or Dunham Coefficients (from the literature), as inputs; 
   Wrote routines to calculate various operations useful to science 
applications -- operands would be scalors, complex numbers, arrays with 
1, 2, or more indices (misc. flavors of addition, multiplication, over 
respective sets, exponentiation, circular & hyperbolic functions, ln() 
of other than reals, 1 or several special functions, some coordinate 
transformations, geographic distances, Kepler orbit equations).  
 
                          Interests & Knowledge 
   * Physics and applications of Lasers; 
   * Radiative interactions with flowing fluids; 
   * Plasma physics and engineering.; 
   * Heat transfer; Fluid Mechanics; Computational fluid mech; 
   * Energy conversion (including nuclear systems); 
   * Applied technologies research of the flight sciences, gas dynamics.  
   * Flight mechanics, performance analysis, operations research/ 
systems analysis, systems synthesis; 
   * Propulsion (aircraft, space vehicles, space craft, missiles), 
engine cycle analysis, and advanced concepts; 
   * Became knowledgeable of certain mid-term future aerospace systems: 
Solar Pumped Lasers; Nuclear Pumped Lasers; Gas core fission reactors; 
LV concepts; Non-Terrestrial Resources; Tethers; Laser Launch; Guns 
   * Prepared presentation on the concept for extraction of laser light 
from Earth's upper atmosphere.  Studied fluid mechanics and physics of 
sodium phase change lasing scheme.  
  * Tutored others in program usage, features of the equipment, and 
issues for program development in BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL.  
  * Used routines from the Engineering Pascal set (Sibex), and from 
Numerical Recipes, (Press et.al.), with own added features 
  * Searched open comp. archive sites; 
  
        As an ongoing affair, contributed concepts in mission plans 
discussions, forwarded bibliography lists, to Experimental Spacecraft 
Soc., a new volunteer staffed organization aiming to design & fabricate 
near term space craft.  
        Prepared public awareness poster presentations for a general 
audience knowledge level.  They illuminated future options on 
Environment, Space, Energy & other resources issues.  Frequently 
contribute articles on current affairs, large scale economic development 
in space, military systems, speculative literature, to small circulation 
amateur press publications.  That readership consists of widely read 
individuals, curious about things outside of their own immediate 
expertise.
