Research Scientist
I have experience processing and reducing infrared, optical and x-ray images
and atomic data. From the data, I extracted information and found statistical
relationships. I am seeking a position that can utilize my analytical and
programming skills that I obtained in my previous research positions.
STRENGTHS
• Familiar with extracting atomic data and analyzing optical, infrared and x-ray images.
• Familiar with all operating systems: Unix, Linux, Mac and Windows.
• Coding experience in bash, csh, IDL, IRAF, ansi C, C++, Mathematica, Fortran, Basic,
HTML, G.
• Error propagation and statistical analysis of data.
• Organized and restructured extensive data archives.
• Ability to streamline processes via available software and self-written programs.
• Willingness to further education or acquire certifications.
