Summary
Physicist and Bayesian inference specialist whose 2019 peer-reviewed paper in Entropy calculated flight characteristics of documented UAP cases, finding accelerations of 100 to 1,000+ g with no sonic booms or thermal signatures. Leads UAPx, which conducted the first academic instrumented field expedition for UAP detection, and is the lead author on the 2025 collaborative 'New Science of UAP' paper in Progress in Aerospace Sciences.
