SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
1 Risk and Safety Analysis
. Researched and condensed thousands of pages of technical
documentation, permit applications, environmental assessments, and
health reports for Umatilla Chemical Agent Destruction Facility
(UMCDF)
. Analyzed risk to worker and public health and environmental impacts
associated with new operations, including risks of non-compliance
with RCRA/MACT permits
. Developed clear lines of approach for mentoring for Performance
Based Oversight
Mathematical Modeling and Computational Analysis
. Developed and applied computer programs to the behavior of
nanostructures by combining previously researched parameters and
equations of motion into a cohesive system
. Analyzed results of Monte Carlo simulations and tested them against
previous models and experiments
. Computationally solved and analytically determined solutions to
multiple coupled partial differential equations (PDEs)
. Utilized problem-solving techniques over a wide variety of
technical courses (advanced electromagnetic theory, thermal and
statistical mechanics, quantum theory, solid state and material
physics, etc.)

WORK EXPERIENCE:
Independent Consultant, Alpha Management Solutions, May 2010 -
November 2010
. Analyzed risks to worker and public health and environment for the
UMCDF, and summarized results for use by others
. Independently assessed potential for malfunctions in equipment and
deficiencies in personnel actions drawing on Environmental
Assessments and Permits, Quantitative Risk Assessments, and other
documents
. Assisted in developing and instructing training sessions for
Conduct of Operations (will conduct portions of the training
sessions in the months to come), synthesizing guidance documents
from a variety of sources, including those developed for the
Department of Energy
Graduate Assistant, Physics Department, UMBC, 2005 - 2008
. Instructed students in introductory calculus based physics courses
during academic sessions, including mentoring after classes, and
grading performance

sections
. Served as a substitute lecturer for classes of roughly 150 students
PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS:
"Step Dynamics and the Morphological Evolution of Nanostructures"
. Doctoral Thesis, Copyrighted December 2008
. The primary aim of this work was to examine surface diffusion and
step motion on nanomounds and nanowires in order to understand the
morphological, or shape, changes of these structures finite
temperatures.
"Rayleigh Instability in Nanowires"
