Currently (2007) pursuing Ph.D. in
geology/geophysics at University of Maryland, College Park. I am
working with Andy Campbell in the Mineral
Physics Lab investigating equations of state and oxygen fugacity
for various metal/metal oxide buffers. This work involves
high-pressure/high-temperature experiments conducted using
diamond-anvil cells. We are part of the geophysics
group at UMD.
Much of my previous geological work was in the general areas of surficial geology and hydrogeology. Prior to my most recent employment as an environmental geologist, I did a stint as a hydrogeologist with the Wetlands Geology Section of the Illinois State Geological Survey. Before moving to southern Illinois, I spent a fair amount of time wandering around in Tennessee and looking at karst hydrogeology and geomorphology. A bit further back, in my previous life (before geology), I was a network technician and software developer at Digital Control Systems.
