Born on August 10, 1974. Family moved to the states around 1980 where I eventually became a Naturalized U.S. Citizen.
Academic Career. Graduated with a BSEE from the University of Texas at Austin in 1997. Received a Masters in Electro-Optics from the University of Central Florida CREOL in 2008. Received a Masters in Physics with a concentration in QM in 2011 and currently working towards my PhD in what will hopefully be in the area of Condensed Matter Nuclear Physics.
Professional Career. In 1997 I worked for the Jet Propulsion Lab, NASA in Pasadena, CA with its Deep Space Network for 3 years.
In 2000 I left NASA to pursue a startup company in long-haul fiber-optical communications where we would be the first company to use polarization modulation over distance.
That company died in 2001 after the Sept 11th tragedy, and I moved my family to sunny Florida where I found a job as a test engineer at Lockheed Martin. After a few years I was leading prototype designs for the Advanced Concepts R&D division at Missiles and fire control.
After 7 years I left to be part of the R&D department at Northrop Grumman where I am now part of their Advanced Systems group acting as technical lead and principal investigator on LADAR programs as well as a technical advisor on all other programs.
Before I heard about the Rossi demos via the internet I was under the strict impression that Cold Fusion had been debunked by mainstream science and only crazies were currently working on it.
Throughout 2011 I researched the Cold Fusion history and evidence and became firmly convinced that there was certainly enough evidence for excess heat albeit tough to reproduce. I was hopefully optimistic during this time about Rossi et al.
Today I see no technical reason why the initial work of Pon's and Fleishman cannot be researched, developed and scaled specially through the use of nano-structures and meta-materials.
During the end of 2011 I decided to open up a website dedicated to trying to help users build a working version of a Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reactor. As part of that I would like to see a kit developed with at least two goals.
1)Quickly and efficiently try out different combinations of materials to see if a LANR reaction occurs
2)Quickly replicate a known recipe that has only a 20% chance of working by trying more than one experiment at a time, and having a simple method of showing excess heat via a comparative analysis stirling engine test (for example)
