Apr 2019 - Present
Office and Analytical (4/2019 – Present): - Scripting/programming in Python/MATLAB to process large geoscience datasets from different projects that resulted in significant time and man-power savings - Worked on a machine learning problem to automatically classify blast and non-blast seismic events. - Post-processing and visualization of geophysical data including seismic (MASW, HVSR, seismic refraction, cross-hole tomography, attenuation, and downhole testing), electromagnetic methods (GPR), electrical resistivity imaging, and producing technical reports - Computer simulation of seismic wave propagation for development of vibration criteria for mining and construction activities - Reviewing construction bid packages (specifications, plans, and quantity estimates) to inform proposal preparation for geotechnical instrumentation and site characterization investigations - Preparing proposals for competitive and non-competitive project opportunities - Contributed to the re-programming of a proprietary software for the company. - Writing papers, preparing posters, and presenting on behalf of the company at multiple conferences (e.g., SAGEEP, IFCEE, Geo-Congress, ISEE) - Participated in regular meetings with clients, regulatory personnel, and other parties. Field Work and Instrumentation (4/2019 – 12/2021): - Conducting geophysical testing (MASW, HVSR, seismic refraction, cross-hole tomography, GPR, electrical resistivity, downhole testing) both as a crew member and the team leader. - Knowledgeable about different construction monitoring equipment (vibration, movement, and tilt) and experienced in their installation and troubleshooting.
