Lecturer

in Food Engineering and Research Assistant

1987-1994Taught undergraduate and graduate

level Food Science & Engineering courses, including lab work.

My Ph.D. research project

was on the development of a computer-vision system for obtaining the weight of live aquaculture

fish from video images taken as they were pumped through a transparent

tube. Conceived and optimized an image-to-weight algorithm that would work

for live fish viewed from any angle, designed and built the fish imaging

system, and experimentally proved that this computer-imaging system would correctly

estimate the weight of the live fish with an error of less than 1.0% (versus

previous methods with accuracies of only within 15%).

During this period also did extensive bibliographic research on omega-3 fish oils, food colloids

and macromolecules, surimi extrusion, and computer control of aquaculture

facilities.

During this period

also worked on engineering design and economic evaluation projects

for private industry companies, such as,

A) the design for a plant to produce

surimi, omega-3 rich fish oil and liquid fish fertilizer from menhaden,

for Sea Resources Engineering, Inc., Kirkland, WA,

B) the re-design of

processing lines for seafood repackaging and distribution, including the

design of new, value-added products, for the Orca Bay Seafood Company,

Seattle, WA,

C) the design of an aquaculture facility using geothermal

water for the production and processing of nine million pounds per year

of tilapia, for New World International, Inc., Seattle, WA, and,

D) the

technical evaluation of a plant for the production of fish protein concentrate,

FPC, for Rimarsa, S.A., Lima, Perú.

of Washington, Seattle, Washington.

Research

Assistant

1985-1986Performed research on the molecular

weight distributions of macromolecules, and designed, built (using HPLC

components), and computer-interfaced a device for measuring the diffusion

coefficients and molecular weights of macromolecules (in general) by convection-diffusion

dispersion in laminar flow through capillary tubes.

of 250 thousand dollars worth of new equipment for the student labs, and

the addition of practical Unit Operations lab work. Directed experimental

and design research projects in the areas of Resource Use Optimization,

Environmental Protection, and Biochemical Engineering. Taught Chemical

Engineering courses including Plant Design and Economics, Thermodynamics,

Heat Transfer, Separation Processes, Chemical Kinetics, Reaction Engineering,
