About Mark Herrera
I\'m a physicist who makes a living by turning complex, data-heavy questions into objective, actionable analysis and test recommendations. My focus areas include the evaluation of naval platforms, mine warfare, and cybersecurity. My research interests include nonlinear dynamics and complex systems: specifically quantum chaos, kicked Bose-Einstein condensates, machine learning, and complex networks.I received my Ph.D. and masters degree from the University of Maryland, and my bachelor\'s degree from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, all in physics. My graduate education was funded by the Department of Defense through the National Defense Science and Engineering (NDSEG) Fellowship.
