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.
