Recent Experience

1999-2015: Private business development including: energy and mineral resources and their location technologies; financial signal decomposition, natural events analysis and prediction software. Writing of a scientific book on nuclear waste and the proposed Yucca Mountain repository. Production of e-book based on award-winning and published physics research.

1997-1999: Consultant to the Bank of America for development of financial models and their optimum computerization on Cray supercomputers based on Monte Carlo modeling techniques. Responsible for the development, production, testing, validation and documentation of pricing models and option algorithms and programs.

1990-97: Research Associate, Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder, on DOD, USAF and State of Nevada contracts for mathematical and numerical modeling of physical processes with emphasis on multi-component fluid flow in complex environments. Required project management, proposal preparation, results presentation at meetings with submission of regular reports and publication of papers in refereed journals. Researched, published and won awards for papers that include modeling of nonlinear processes such as flows through mineralized and fractured materials, seismic noise and prediction of subsurface fluid motions and atmospheric and ionospheric disturbances due to impulsive forces. Advised and worked closely with graduate students.

1991-95: Consultant on State of Nevada contract through TRAC Inc. for mathematical and numerical modeling of geophysical processes relevant to the safety of the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for earthquake and flooding hazard. Researched, published and presented papers on the modeling of earthquakes and the interaction of subsurface fluid motions with stress and strain changes.

1987-1990: Private business developing computerized technology for resource exploration applications which included tomographic techniques of 3-D imaging of the electrochemical properties inside complex mineralized materials.

1983-1986: Founding, financing and management of a public company on a North American stock exchange with emphasis on mineral exploration, technology and data acquisition.

1979-82, 1986-87: Research Associate, CIRES, University of Colorado, Boulder, developing seismic source models and signal processing techniques for analyzing seismic and other time series for methods of nuclear test detection. Published joint reports and advised graduate students.
