I am a proud member of D&M’s Electrical & Computer Science Team. My background in physics and math inspired me to focus my patent practice on the software arts, particularly within autonomous vehicle technologies and advanced software subject matter.
- Known to be an energetic, friendly and encouraging colleague whose door is always open
- Enjoys collecting and creating art in different media, including acrylic and oil paintings and mixed media works
- Favorite physics fun fact is that Albert Einstein referred to the theory of Quantum Entanglement as “Spooky Action at a Distance”
