Robert Matthew Goodro

Objective To obtain a position in Engineering Technology.

Engineering Oct 2009 - Present Neurobehavioral Research

Inc. Honolulu, HI

Experience Research Engineer

. I developed software for medical imaging analysis using Linux

script, c++, and NVIDIA's parallel computing architecture. I

also managed a project to identity and mask periventricular

white matter hyperintensities in MRIs of the brain,

furthering research efforts on how white matter

hyperintensities affect cognitive function.

Sep 2007 - Sep 2009 University of Oxford

Oxford, England

Research Student

. While working at the University of Oxford, I conducted

research projects in the heat transfer and fluid mechanics

disciplines including the separate effects of Mach number and

Reynolds number on impingement heat transfer, and the effects

of temperature ratio and jet spacing on impingement heat

transfer. I also studied the effects of hole spacing, hole

angle, Reynolds number, blowing ratio, density ratio, and an

accelerating flow field on full coverage film cooling. This

involved the design of new test facilities, coordination and

oversight of construction efforts, data collection and

processing with minimal external oversight. There was a

strong focus on technical writing and group presentations

throughout the project. My work resulted in the production of

one conference paper, three archival journal publications and

a final technical report to the research sponsor.

Aug 2006 - Dec 2006 University of Utah

Salt Lake City, UT

Teaching Assistant, Thermodynamics II

. I taught laboratory lectures separate from the main course,

conducted laboratory sessions, provided assistance to

students with laboratory work, course work, and provided

weekly supplementary lectures covering course material.

Apr 2004- Aug 2006 University of Utah

Salt Lake City, UT

Research Assistant

. I assisted in various research projects in the heat transfer

and fluid mechanics

disciplines including the effects of surface roughness on the

aerodynamic performance of a turbine vane, and the separate

effects of Mach number and Reynolds number on impingement

heat transfer. During this time I contributed to four

conference papers and three archival journal publications.

Apr 2003 - Mar 2004 Iraq Survey Group Camp

As Sayliya, Doha, Qatar

Digital Forensics Technician/Database Programmer

. I catalogued several hundred pieces of digital media,

extracted potential items of intelligence interest, and

prepared them for review by Arabic speaking translators. I

independently developed a Microsoft Access database for use

by the digital forensics team at the Combined Media

Processing Center, Doha Qatar that tracked over 16,000 pieces

of evidence, roughly 50,000 analysis tasks performed by 19

technicians over 10 months, and included 32 different reports

designed to meet requirements presented by the digital media

officer. I received the Joint Service Commendation Medal as

recognition for my efforts in database development and

digital media processing.
