Boise, Idaho Area

Austin

Carried out geotechnical investigations for pavement, building, bridge, and retaining wall design. As an engineer, I have been involved in the field investigation and primarily in the design and report writing aspect. I have written numerous reports and am proficient in SlopeW, gINT, PYWall, LPILE, and AutoCAD.

I served as a visiting faculty in the geology department where I taught a general class on natural disasters. I also taught an upper-level environmental and engineering geology class to geology majors. During my time here I worked in teams to improve student learning and improve the overall experience of the students. I also worked on a team of faculty members from numerous departments to improve a general science class to demonstrate the scientific process in cosmology, chemistry, geology, biology, and evolution; the course was mainly designed for incoming freshmen.As a faculty member I consistently earned the highest ratings based on student evaluations and the end of each semester. I also attended a special symposium on landslides in February of 2015 in Seattle, WA. The focus was the Oso landslide that occurred in 2014 and how to prevent similar tragedies moving forward. Numerous experts presented on slope stability issues and the symposium included a field trip to the Oso landslide location. Upon returning from the symposium, I presented a forum on the Oso slide to the geology faculty and students. The presentation is below.

Reno, Nevada

As a graduate student, I supervised and taught labs in introductory geology and also in structural geology. I assisted in creating lab assignments, teaching material, and grading assignments.

Idaho Falls, Idaho

I created and modified shapefiles for the city of Idaho Falls. My work dealt mostly with creating roads and right-of-ways, buildings, and site plans. I also helped in creating geometric networks for sewer and water lines.

Burley, Id

I worked with a professional geologist to monitor water usage from the Snake River aquifer in southern Idaho. As a hydrologic technician I monitored pumping rates and volumes used by farmers to make sure they were within their water rights. A sonic flow meter was used to compute the pumping rate at each pump. I also assisted in monitoring ground water levels to keep track of drawdown during peak pumping times.

Master Of Science (M.S.), Geological/Geophysical Engineering, 4.0

My thesis involved an investigation of the slope stability of a local sedimentary unit just west of Reno, NV. I performed many.

Bachelor Of Science (B.S.), Geology/Earth Science, General, 3.95

Activities and Societies: I belonged to the local geology society and was the treasurer of the society.
