Currently perform fatigue analysis for F/A-18 fighter jets using strain data from sensors placed at several locations on the aircraft. Examine plots from these sensors to determine their health and recommend replacement to NAVAIR if need be. Compile biweekly reports detailing data received from deployed squadrons. Continually modify python script used to plot gravitational exceedances the aircraft experience for improved performance and ease of use.

Using a Spirent GSS8000 simulator and space qualified receivers, modeled the total eclipse predicted in 2017 and estimated locations of ground sites to best measure scintillation effects, plasma density, and other high atmosphere properties. Performed mock simulations to test data collection procedures.
