This page is a single place for anyone weighing my candidacy to review the record: what I have built, published, and can bring to New Jersey’s innovation economy — with the primary sources linked so the determination rests on evidence, not a pitch.
The ask. Consideration for an appointed position at the New Jersey Innovation Authority. I am a Newark-based founder and independent researcher working at the intersection of climate resilience, environmental monitoring, advanced manufacturing, formal-verification (“trust”) technology, and STEM workforce development — the areas NJIA exists to grow, seen from the ground in New Jersey’s largest city. I bring the technical range, the local roots, and the follow-through to help build the agency’s work, not just advise it.
01Why this matters right now: New Jersey’s air
Through the summer of 2026, smoke from more than 800 Canadian wildfires has repeatedly pushed New Jersey into unhealthy air. The state issued Code Red air-quality alerts, and the New Jersey Department of Health cautioned residents to stay indoors. This is not a distant problem — it is Newark’s sky.
I raise this first because it is exactly the kind of issue where independent, technically grounded, locally rooted voices are useful to the state: connecting satellite-scale science to the health of a specific city, and to the infrastructure and monitoring decisions that follow.
02What I would bring to the board
Helical Vortex Energy Harvesting (HVEH)
A proposed approach to distributed, low-head hydrokinetic generation and flood-resilience for New Jersey watercourses (e.g., the Second River / Belleville corridor) — year-round baseload from existing flow, sited where municipal power and stormwater resilience overlap. Presented as an engineering concept and development case, not a deployed system. Background →
Transcontinental smoke transport
Published modeling of how wildfire smoke crosses the continent and degrades downwind air — the mechanism behind New Jersey’s recurring Code Red days. A reproducible data pipeline (PM2.5 vs. mixed-layer depth) accompanies the paper. Read →
Sustainable aviation fuel (ethanol → hydrocarbons)
An early-stage SAF process concept, with analytical validation (DRIFTS) planned at NJIT’s Otto York Center. Actively pursuing New Jersey’s CSIT R&D Voucher to fund the work at an in-state core facility — a concrete example of using New Jersey’s own innovation infrastructure. Funding avenue; not yet secured.
Machine-checked proof (Lean 4 / AXLE)
I maintain AXLE, a formal-verification environment where mathematical claims are checked by a proof kernel rather than asserted. The discipline — nothing is “verified” without a clean kernel check — is the same rigor emerging AI and critical-software sectors increasingly need. Repository →
Bringing the science to classrooms
Open, browser-based teaching tools (e.g., interactive Chladni nodal-set plates for math teachers) and a full dm³ course series — built to put working scientific instruments in front of students and educators for free. Example tool →
Serving residents without WiFi, a smartphone, or a bank
A concept for instant payments on public rails (FedNow) that reach the unbanked and the cash economy on any phone — with community cash access and microcredit, off the card-network toll. A worked answer to the question every digital-service builder should face: how do you not leave the margin behind? Ponte Nova →
