Research Experience
2008 - 2014 University of Hawai‘iHawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and PlanetologyAssistant Researcher
Developed calibration and analysis software for Raman spectroscopy and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). In particular, developed software for remote and in situ detection, identification, and compositional analysis of explosives, biomolecules and terrestrial and planetary minerals. Includes Multivariate Analysis (PCA, PLS, PLS2), clustering and classification of species, and prediction of composition (PCR, PLSR). Capabilities also include conversion of spectrometer CCD images to Raman and LIBS spectra, spectral peakfinding and baseline removal. Also designed optical hardware for scanning LIDAR systems.
2006 - 2008 University of Hawai‘iHawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and PlanetologyPostdoctoral Research Fellow
Designed and coded an advanced environmental radiative transfer computer model in collaboration with Dr. John Porter, for use in interpreting satellite spectral data and remote sensing of aerosols.
1999 - 2003 University of Miami, Physics DepartmentAtmospheric and Ocean Optics GroupResearch Assistant
Designed, calibrated and operated a LIDAR system and handheld and automatic sunphotometers, for the purpose of calibrating and validating MODIS satellite data. Designed and coded signal processing algorithms for LIDAR data. Collected LIDAR data in the field and analyzed results, published as part of doctoral dissertation. Supervised operation and on-site maintenance of an automatic solar-powered sunphotometer located on a small island in the Dry Tortugas National Wildlife Reserve, Florida, USA. The device is part of a network maintained by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
