Proof — scientific HPC + production AI/ML + UQ/eval
- PhD Environmental Engineering, TAMUK 2022 — multimodel monthly-to-seasonal forecast uncertainty quantification and reduction across basins/hydroclimates (HPC: MODFLOW, VIC, PIHM, NASA LIS; UCAR / TACC Stampede; USGS/NOAA/NASA data).
- Production agentic LLM systems (GPT, Claude, Gemini) with retrieval, routing, multi-tenant isolation, and regression evaluation sets.
- NSF-backed research contracts ($250K+), graduate mentoring, Collin College data-analytics instruction — transferable to ODSRCI proposals, fellowships, and workshops.
- Dallas–Fort Worth based · onsite SMU Dallas · salary commensurate / band unpublished (no invented $).
- Honest frame: related scientific-computing doctorate — not an invented CS/AI degree, SMU-internal HPC admin ownership, or prior ODSRCI PI claim. Stretch: institute support + workshop load vs pure PI lab.
