Designed and implemented Ray Tracer that ran on both parallel and sequential computers. Created a new very fast ray tracing algorithm. Applied numerical differential geometry to magnetohydrodynamics to model magnetic flux tubes in space and near planets and comets. Wrote solid modeling language that used non-linear 3D transfomations. Calculator Programmer, United Vision Services, Middletown, NY Designed and implemented new iterative algorithm to solve thick lens formula to grind eyeglass lenses in optical surfacing laboratory.
