RESEARCH SKILLS: Oversight of budget and research goals for a small group of post-doctoral and graduate researchers split between two departments Organization and maintenance of ground based data collection in support of thermal remote sensing project Program maintenance and development for a macroscale hydrologic model Developed and implemented a field data collection program in support of model algorithm development Developed data processing programs Conducted comparisons of satellite and in situ observations of sea surface temperature Designed and deployed instruments to make in-situ measurements of sea surface temperature from volunteer merchant vessels Designed and deployed seepage meters for use in small lakes and wetlands in Wisconsin. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Assistant Professor, Present Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. Research Scientist, Managing three year study to determine the usefulness of thermal remote sensing products to the observation of regional stream temperatures. Project includes the deployment and maintenance of in-situ temperature loggers and the acquisition of plane and satellite thermal imaging products. Project under the direction of Dr. Stephen Burges and Dr. Alan Gillespie at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Lecturer, CEE 342 Fluid Mechanics, Winter Quarter 2002 Prepared lecture plans and taught the introductory fluid mechanics course in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington. Course required 5 hours of lecture a week, plus 5 days overseeing class lab experiments. The class was set-up as an experiment to give future Ph.D. students experience in teaching. Therefore, my teaching skills were monitored and discussed with Dr. Stephen Burges. 2 of 8
