  Los Alamos National Laboratory

  Jan 1998 - Jan 2005

  Technical Staff Member

  Numerical modeling of unsaturated flow and transport, colloid transport, heat transport, and risk based analysis. Conduct laboratory experiments to support modeling.As part of a team, designed and developed engineering drawing for multiple foam mitigation enclosures for explosive tests, modeled shock wave behavior, performed engineering calculations, coordinated technical reviews, documented design (requirements documents, technical write-up, and response to review comments), and coordinated with individuals across several divisions and disciplines. In addition, designed a portable foam collection and treatment system for the foam waste generated during an explosive shot. The waste stream contained mixed waste. Show less

  University of Montana

  Jan 2005 - Jan 2009

  Developed a 2 + 2 engineering program between the University of Montana and Montana Tech. Taught courses in: Introduction to Engineering and Engineering Statics. Advised students interested in transferring to another University in order to pursue an engineering degree. Brine Convection Modeling: Conducted and integrated data from intermediate scale experiments to study heat convection from a system heated from above and cooled from below into the MAGHNUM numerical model. Using parameter for Mars, heat convection and water movement was modeled to evaluate how fluid type (water, calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate), difference in thermal load, and concentration affected convection.

  Civil Engineer/Senior Hydrologist

  Project manager and lead engineer for various projects that include addressing groundwater and vadose zone related projects, including remediation system design, treatment and disposal of contaminated water, dewatering, water infiltration, numerical modeling, and site characterization. Examples include the application of soil vapor extraction, air sparging, dual phase recovery, hydraulic control, injection of in-situ treatment products, contaminant removal, air stripping, treatment of waste water, design of infiltration galleries, evaluation and management of water mounding from infiltration galleries, landfill gas projects, and landfill cover design. potential for residual waste to leach to groundwater. Additional tasks include writing SWPPPs, SPCC plans, and UIC permits for various clients, and complying with all regulatory requirements. Show less
