Research

  • My current research is with the USDA.
  • Previously, my research was with the Carolina Envorinmental Bioinformatics Research Center (CEBRC).
  • The first two years at UNC-CH I worked on the Facetop Transparent Video Interface.
  • For the first year at UNC-CH my research assistantship was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF's Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professiorate (AGEP) program seeks to increase the number of underrepresented minorities receiving doctoral degrees in science, engineering, technology and mathematics. Here at Carolina AGEP falls under the Research Education Support (RES) Program.

    • Internship

  • My year-round 2012-2014 internship is with the Forest Service within the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) at the NCSU Centennial Campus in Raleigh, NC. I work with the Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center (EFETAC).
  • My summer 2010 internship was with Charles Schwab in Charlotte, NC.
  • My summer 2007, 2008 and 2009 internships were with Merck in West Point, PA. I worked with the Merck Research Labs.
  • My summer 2005 internship was with the Carolina Environmental Program. More specifically, I worked in the Center for Environmental Modeling for Policy Development. I wrote environmental software used by the EPA for emissions modeling and analysis.

    • Office Mates

  • For a quick research break I chat with my office mates. It's good to have someone to talk to when I need to decompress the brain from all the numbers and computer stuff swirling in my head.
