Hi, I'm Jacob.

I'm an engineering graduate student and researcher interested in creating decision-support tools and operational concepts for complex, mission-critical work. Currently, I hold roles as a Graduate Research Associate in the Cognitive Systems Engineering Laboratory at Ohio State University and an Exploration Engineer Intern with Jacobs at NASA Johnson Space Center.

My professional experiences have trained me in identifying approaches to improve decision-making and coordination/teamwork processes in domains including human space exploration, intelligence analysis, spaceflight range safety, and critical digital infrastructure.
