at NASA Ames Research Center. Primary responsibilities include: maintaining
group research activities; facilities and equipment management; identi cation of new
research directions.
1990 - 1997 Contractor working in the Research Branch of the NAS division at NASA Ames Research
Center, under contract rst to Computer Sciences Corporation, then MRJ Inc.
Principal investigator on the Virtual Windtunnel Project, an application of virtual
reality technology to the visualization of the results of computational
uid dynamics
computations.
1987 - 1990 Member of Technical Sta , Sterling Software as a contractor to NASA Ames Research
Center. Project member of the Virtual Interactive EnvironmentWorkstation, performing
system integration, human factors experiment and design, application development.
1984 - 1987 Researcher at VPL research Inc, Redwood City, CA. Developed prototype visual programming
language and the Dataglove hand-gesture input device.
1983 - 1984 Programmer in the Connelley Group, Mountain View, CA, developing various computer
games in 6502 assembly language.
Professional Experience (continued)
1983 - 1984 Programmer at Epyx, Inc.,, Sunnyvale, CA, developing various computer games for
6502-based systems.
