    In my consulting work, the goal is to forge a close collaboration with clients to scope projects on the R&D spectrum, use modeling and design to reduce technical risk, and accelerate progress to the point where a prototype can be built. I use techniques such as ray tracing, finite-difference time domain, and rigorous coupled wave analysis, among others. In some cases I also build and test prototypes for clients. Additional services include technical editing and proofreading to help authors improve their journal articles, grant proposals, white papers, and the like.
