- BS Physics 2002
Upon graduation from Michigan Tech in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in physics, I accepted a position at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts, where I am currently an associate technical staff member. My physics degree has been exceptional preparation for the wide array of technical challenges that I have encountered in my career, including work on antenna analysis, large-scale radar simulations, information optimization, optical tracking sensors, and modernizing the nation’s instrumentation and range-safety radars. My physics education from Michigan Tech was critical in my path to success, providing me not only an outstanding education but also the ability to participate with faculty in cutting-edge research that propelled me into a career at a national research and development center.
