Visited 20 different countries around the world, including Senegal, Laos, Lithuania, and Yap Island, Micronesia.
Programmed an acoustic ray tracer and tomographic inversion code with MATLAB, an object oriented mathematical programming environment.
Performed system administration for my research group's network of heterogeneous workstations and PCs (Digital Unix, Linux, Solaris, DEC Ultrix, Windows NT, Windows 95, Macintosh) both on shore and at sea.
Managed shore operations of a real-time web page for the REVEL science outreach project.
Programmed in PERL to manage and distill raw data for various cruise related projects.
Programmed in PERL to develop 10 GB seismic database.
Programmed in C, FORTRAN and MATLAB for numerical modeling of a hydrothermal plume, and used HTML to post the results on my web page. (see http://www2.ocean.washington.edu/cbp_home/plumes/index.html)
Tested the use of acoustic measurements to invert for the temperature structure of the water column above a hydrothermal vent field. In particular, this study designed a technique to improve measurements of the heat flux from mid-ocean ridge volcanoes. Improved measurements are needed to help constrain numerical models of plate spreading and crustal accretion at the mid-ocean ridge
Summer 1995, UW School of Oceanography: Research Assistant on Mixing Zephyrs I & II
Implemented improved ALVIN acoustic navigation system, lowering navigational errors from ~100 m to ~3 m.
Processed MESOTECH sonar data to make fine-scale maps of local bathymetry of MEF vent field and Salty Dawg vent field.
Collected data for the teleseismic portion of the Southern Sierra Continental Dynamics project.
Developed computer code to process resulting 10 GB of seismic data into a relational database.
