Personnel Summary
Senior in Embry-Riddle's Uncrewed & Autonomous Systems program, 4.0 GPA, on the accelerated B.S./M.S. pathway. Sole inventor of a U.S. patent-pending passive counter-UAS system.
Work centers on the asymmetric defense paradox: a two-hundred-dollar drone threatening a multi-million-dollar asset, and how a defender counters it without radiating a signal of its own. FAA Part 107 remote pilot with research across counter-UAS, ISR, and remote sensing.

Primary System
A ground-based grid of passive sensors that detects, tracks, and classifies unauthorized drones without emitting radar or RF energy, keeping the defensive system invisible to the threat it watches. Conceived as a physics-first answer to swarming and kamikaze micro-UAS against fixed high-value assets.
non-emitting, hard to detect
costly, blind to silent drones
DPSN Research Lineage
The patent did not appear in isolation. Four graded ERAU studies built its physics, feasibility, platform, and field application, in sequence:
UNSY 205
The Asymmetric Defense Paradox
Passive physics principles for detecting stealth micro-UAS instead of RF jamming or active radar. The physics origin of DPSN.
ENGL 221
DAPS - Distributed Autonomous Passive Sensing
Technical and economic feasibility of replacing an airport's legacy radar with a distributed passive sensor grid against drone swarms.
UNSY 311
UGS Design - Safe Operation of the DPSN
Design, safety, and risk plan for the mobile ground-based passive platform that autonomously detects and tracks unauthorized drones, node [14] in Fig. 1.
SCTY 400
Airport Security Program Review - SFO
Security-program assessment of a Category X airport, including a DPSN waterfront perimeter-defense concept.
