• Graduate Student Researcher

  • Aug 1999 - May 2002

  Research focus was to determine effects of colloid sizes through a porous media with implications of transport of non-soluble contaminants in groundwater. Conducted research aimed at analyzing sub-micron sized soil colloids for their size and chemical composition by utilizing various sizing and chemical analysis techniques, such as field flow fractionation (FFF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), single particle optical sizing (SPOS), inductively coupled plasma Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)… Show more Research focus was to determine effects of colloid sizes through a porous media with implications of transport of non-soluble contaminants in groundwater.

  • Jan 1998 - Aug 1999

  Air Quality Division, 1999 Designed an automated program in Access and Excel using Visual Basic and SQL to automate radionuclide concentration analysis of the auto-sampler database into queried time intervals, contaminants, and auto-sampler stations. The program would then graph the data in Excel. Earth and Environmental Science Division, 1998 Created a database of surface runoff and erosion data from 1991 to 1998 on plots that were undisturbed and disturbed.
