    Dissertation Supervisor: Laurel B. Goodwin.

M. S. in Geosciences, August 1997, State University of New York at  Stony Brook.

B. S. in Geosciences, with Distinction, May 1994, The Pennsylvania State University.

Research Tools
Mapping and structural analysis in the field, optical and electron microscopy,  quantitative microstructural and
    petrophysical analysis using image processing techniques, field and laboratory permeability measurement.
Current Research Interests

- Controls on deformation mechanisms in rock and sediment
- Characterizing petrophysical properties through image analysis techniques
- Rock physics
Professional Experience
Research Assistant, New Mexico Tech: For my dissertation research I performed 1:10 scale outcrop mapping;
    collected and prepared unlithified sediment samples; performed field and laboratory permeability
    measurements; and designed, assembled, and wrote code for a computer interfaced petrographic image
    analysis system, and instructed graduate students and faculty in its use.  1998-2001. Supervisor: Laurel B.
    Goodwin.
Physical Science Instructor, National Audubon Society, Greenwich, CT: I developed and taught an
    interactive curriculum of basic geology, hydrology, landscape interpretation, and orienteering for a teacher
