After a brief stint as the Director of Science and Research for Epoch Innovations in San Francisco, I have recently left Epoch in search of greener pastures in the emerging realm of cognitive and neuro- technology. Before Epoch, I was a Research Computer Scientist at HRL Laboratories (formerly Hughes Research Labs (the advanced research wing of Hughes Aircraft)) in Malibu, CA. At HRL, I raised and managed almost $2M of advanced R&D projects and applied principles from cognitive neuroscience to cutting edge technologies for corporate aerospace companies like Boeing and Raytheon, the US Navy, and the Department of Defense (Defense Advanced Research Projects Ageny) as an integral part of programs such as Architectures for Cognitive Information Processing.

I have a diverse background, with expertise in all phases of R&D from idea generation and fund raising to development and testing. I have a special interest in the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and technology. I have experience in systems-level neuroscience, human-centered software design, dynamic informatics, empirical user studies, functional neuroimaging, classical perceptual psychophysics, virtual- and augmented-reality multimodal interaction systems, and the development of artificial cognitive agents. I have a doctorate and Masters in Cognitive Psychology from UCLA, as well as a B.S. in Psychobiology. More detailed descriptions can be found in my resume and my curriculum vitae, which need to be updated.
