I am a senior aerospace engineer, currently working for Crown Innovations, Inc. at the NASA Ames Research Center on the Air Mobility Pathfinders (AMP) project. My research focuses on on defining operational concepts and developing algorithms to provide autonomous Air Traffic Management (ATM) services to all types of airspace users.

I have also worked on design and optimization of complex engineered systems and systems-of-systems. This includes using modeling and simulation techinques, especially tools such as network science, agent-based modeling, etc. I have studied the effects of decision-making of autonomous agents on system-level performance, and development of heuristics for complex systems design.

The areas of applications of the above work include air transportation systems and aircraft conceptual design. For air transportation research, I worked on a project on assessment of new aircraft technologies and their utilization on aviation’s environmental impact, followed by a study to investigate airline decisions on selection of their route network structure. My work on aircraft design included conceptual design and sizing of a regional transport aircraft and the design and sizing of an unmanned aerial vehicle for high altitude surveillance.
