Environmental and Computer Engineer
Atmospheric Chemistry
I am an enthusiastic, dynamic, and resourceful engineer and scientist dedicated to environmental remediation through air quality monitoring and control. My track record of success in pollutant monitoring, source measurement, analytic chemistry, and innovative aerosol research technology has advanced the body of knowledge of aerosol and atmospheric science. I thrive in energetic but self-driven environments as part of an interdisciplinary collaborative team to confront the impact of degraded air quality on human health and solutions to the near-future environmental challenges climate change will present.
Research Skills
Strong interpersonal and collaborative skills with teamwork and leadership experience
Excellent oral and written communication ability as exemplified by publications and presentations
Adept in aerosol field measurements, atmospheric remote sensing, and analytic chemistry
Proficient with many measurement systems, including; AMS, SMPS, SP2, UHSAS, CCP, CCN, PAX, Aethalometers, CRDS, CAPS, PILS, ECHAMP, OPC, and low-cost sensors.
Experienced in atmospheric measurement instrumentation applications, development, and design
Software engineering proficiency, including development, hardware integration, and lifecycle maintenance
Development
I developed organization, precision, management, communication, and teamwork skills in the fast-paced, high-stress environment of haute cuisine, where over seven years, I worked my way from busboy to sous chef. As a computer engineer, I innovated autonomous measurement solutions, cross instrument communication, and designed and delivered high quality novel instrumentation on schedule. Despite my achievements, the gaps in my knowledge while designing aerosol particle instrumentation and software drove me to pursue a scientific career in field research.
