Work Experience

06/2014 and ongoing Graduate Research Associate

The Ohio State University Columbus, OH

Supported faculty research under supervision by Dr. C.K. Shum, particularly in representation of geospatial processes using Google Earth Engine, and raster processing using ArcGIS on Landsat, MERIS, and MODIS data. Currently exploring larger trends in algal populations in lakes and coastal areas using data from Landsat 5 and 8.

03/2009 to 09/2009 Graduate Teaching Associate

The Ohio State University Columbus, OH

Assisted in the grading of papers and examinations, and in proctoring examinations under Emeritus Professor Dr. Gary Means in his Biochemistry 511 course. Held office hours to support students in mastering material. Implemented new teaching and management strategies to overcome the less prepared students coming to the program from alternative backgrounds.
