Water Resource Modeler/GIS Analyst: May 2005 to current date.
Organization: Center for Watershed Science, Illinois State Water Survey Division, Institute for Natural Resource Sustainability University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (formerly ISWS under IDNR)

Project: FOX River Watershed Project
Responsibilities: Developing and analyzing GIS databases for HSPF model using ESRI GIS, BASINS and BASINS-HSPF. Examining FIS profile, DEM with DOQ and topomap for watershed characterization. Processed STATSGO and SSURGO soil database for the model. Completing documentation and metadata. Writing procedures, creating maps, charts, documents for report.
Developing HSPF model for 31 tributary watersheds and mainstem watershed. Prepared climate data for these 32 watershed models, processes NPDES data, analyzing and calibrating/validating hydrology for mainstem and tributary watershed models. Completed parameterization of Water Quality constituents, currently performing calibration tests.

Water Supply Planning Project:
Developed HSPF model for the Fox River Watershed (adding upstream from Wisconsin) for the Water Supply Planning Project. Delineated Watershed and subwatershed, prepared input data, prepared climate data and assign climate stations to the subwatersheds. Run HSPF model for hydrology simulation. Completed HSPF model for Fox River Watershed including Wisconsin part by calibrating and validating the model.
