I processed and ingested geological maps and other Geographical Information Systems data and metadata into online geospatial databases. I located, extracted, and annotated information in scientific publications, and I cleaned and vetted data in existing geological databases.

Performed all steps of sample processing and chemical processing of isolation of Beryllium 10, including crushing and sieving rock samples collected from glaciated terrains, physically and chemically separating quartz using frantz magnetic separator as well as strong acids including HF, HCl, and nitric acids, prepared samples for ICP-OES analysis, and performed ion chromatography and other wet chemistry to isolate beryllium hydroxide.

Conducted a study on the effects of oxygenation on metal concentrations in a drinking water reservoir. Collected reservoir water samples biweekly to measure metal concentrations using ICP-OES analysis. Collected reservoir water quality data using a high resolution profiler. Created and ran an autoregressive model to assess the effects of a hypolimnetic oxygenation system on metal concentrations in a reservoir. Presented results at Virginia Tech's Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. Conducted a study on the effects of oxygenation on metal concentrations in a drinking water reservoir.
