As the Deputy JSTAR Lead at NASA IV&V, I bring a decade of experience at NASA to my role. My work has supported multiple missions including STF-1, GTOSat, and LEMS-A3, as well as contributing to the development of NOS3 and CryptoLib. I hold both a Bachelor’s degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from West Virginia University. My current research focuses on software digital twins and space cybersecurity, where I apply my expertise to enhance mission assurance and security protocols. Throughout my NASA career, I have specialized in verification and validation methodologies that strengthen the reliability of mission-critical systems.
