Fully functional and self-directedTaught customers of all sizes on the value proposition of AWS, led training sessions for customers/prospects through building proof of concept presentations and provided training and helped customers with AWS qwiklab sessions. Launched and ran Linux VMs to host web content to access log files, metadata for customer presentations. Full stack web development utilizing Bootstrap, PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, React.js, D3.js, JavaScript to build websites for customer cloud demos.
Worked on a geophysics publication on the multi-objective optimization scheme using three geophysical datasets to generate 3D shear wave models of the Southwestern region.
Designed a Dashboard solution for Reporting data using Microsoft Azure SQL & Tableau. I had to develop interfaces between multiple data sources (MSSQL, PowerPoint, Excel, XML, SharePoint).Software mainly used: T-SQL, MSSQL, Tableau, Azure SQL Database, SharePoint
Assisted undergraduate students with programming assignments & projects written in Java. Reinforced programming concepts that can help students with their computer science lab assignments. Lead lab activities and class assignments as well as grading student HW assignments, lab assignments, & projects.
Developed 2-D & 3-D maps for the Sol y Agua Project for middle school students using software like Fledermaus & Generic Mapping Tool (GMT). Worked on game development for geoscience activities within the Unity software. Assisted with interactive 3-D visualizations of the Earth structure and water sustainability for the El Paso-Rio Grande region. Software mainly used: Fledermaus, GMT, Unity, & MySQL.
In the Research & Development Division: Performed software installations, testing, and license management. Developed software modules in Matlab. Written & maintained extensive technical documentation for the active source geophysics software written in C & Matlab programming language. Provided client support for the geophysical software and helped trouble shoot customers problems with the software. Software mainly used: Matlab, C.
Was a teaching assistant for undergraduate geology course, Intro to Physical Geology GEOL 1313. An introductory study of the earth's composition, structure, and internal and external processes. Prepared Lab exercises for geology concepts and techniques to study the Earth Structure.
Expanded on a constrained optimization approach for a joint inversion least-squares (LSQ) algorithm to characterize one-dimensional Earth's structure using multiple geophysical data sets. Developed 3-D models of the Earth structure using the Multi-Objective Optimization scheme for the Southwestern region of the U.S. Software mainly used: C, C++, Matlab, Fortran, GMT, Python, Paraview, C-Shell scripting.
Implemented Zhu & Kanamori teleseismic receiver function technique to map the crustal & velocity structure of the Rio Grande Rift. 150 USArray & Earthscope stations were utilized to conduct this research. I focused on imaging the Southern Rio Grande Rift, the widest section of the rift, to help answer questions about how it formed and to determine whether this process is still ongoing. Software mainly used: C-Shell, Matlab, SOD, GMT.
This research focused on the Southern Rio Grande Rift (SRGR) to develop 2-D contour maps of the velocity & crustal structure using data from seismograms that have been installed around region.
Updated an old Matlab version 5.3 Displacement model of Taal Volcano to a newer Matlab version 7.0. The purpose of my research was to be able to run the old Matlab program on an updated version of Matlab so the scientific community could use this program to better understand the unknown processes of the magma chamber in Taal Volcano.
Done research on Multipath, a condition where the transmitted radio signal is reflected by physical features or structures, creating multiple reflections of the same signal arriving at the receiver at different times. I assisted in the development of a computer model of Multipath that could be displayed on a digital terrain model.
For my research, I focused on the development of a 3-D crust and upper mantle shear-wave velocity model using a constrained multi-objective optimization approach for joint inversion of surface waves, receiver functions, & teleseismic delay P-wave travel time datasets.
Also for my research, I focused on implementation of the Zhu & Kanamori teleseismic receiver function technique to map the crustal & velocity structure of the Rio Grande Rift. 150 USArray & Earthscope stations were utilized to conduct this research. I focused on imaging the southern Rio Grande Rift, the widest section of the rift, to help answer questions about how it formed and to determine whether this process is still ongoing.
I was a geophysics research assistant in the iFuse Research Group at the NSF-Funded Cyber-ShARE Center of Excellence at UTEP. Learn more about Cyber-ShARE Research Groups here.
