  • Fulbright Grantee

    Helsinki University of Technology & University of Helsinki

    (Educational Institution; Research industry)

    August 2006 — April 2007 (9 months)

  • Research Associate

    University of Helsinki

    (Educational Institution; Research industry)

    August 2006 — April 2007 (9 months)

    HYRESSA project researcher:
    HYperspectral REmote Sensing in Europe specific Support Actions (HYRESSA) - Investigating the user needs of the European hyperspectral remote sensing research community with respect to access to and accuracy, quality and conformity of hyperspectral images, especially with the advent of next-generation European hyperspectral sensors like ARES and APEX in 2006-2007.

  • Research Assistant

    USF

    (Educational Institution; Research industry)

    August 2005 — December 2006 (1 year 5 months)

    My thesis and research project involved water quality monitoring and modeling for a new Florida reservoir, the C.W. Young Regional Reservoir. This project included a novel design for an information system to store, analyze, visualize, and report water quality parameters.

    The 15-billion gallon reservoir, completed in early 2005, was designed to fill during high surface flow periods and supplies the region in times of low-flow. Accurate monitoring and modeling of water quality and environmental assessment data is imperative to the long-term sustainability of the structure. One of the goals of the information system was to enable stakeholders to quantify relationships between nutrient loading and eutrophication using water quality parameters such as algal growth and turbidity.

  • Research Assistant

    Florida Environmental Research Institute

    (Non-Profit; 11-50 employees; Research industry)

    April 2001 — June 2005 (4 years 3 months)

    •Designed analysis programs for the characterization and calibration of a hyperspectral ocean-color remote sensing instrument, the PHILLS2.

    •Co-designed and programmed a Genetic Algorithm to solve for stray-light within the instrument.

    •Deployed the instrument onboard NOAA’s Cessna Citation.

    •Prototyped direct parametric orthocorrection of pushbroom scanner imagery using Trimble’s POSPac software and ReSe’s PARGE

    •Performed Scientific Visualization and statistical analysis for an ecological model (EcoSim2).

    •Designed and programmed validation for EcoSim2 using satellite data (SeaWiFS) as ground truth.

    •Processed raw satellite data into georectified products using Naval Research Laboratory’s Automated Processing System (APS) and the SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS).

    •Designed and programmed a web-based data selection, processing, and distribution application for hyperspectral data (HyDRO).
