Congressional Science & Technology Policy Fellow sponsored by the American Nuclear Society and AAAS. Working with the Green Team of the Senate Budget Committee on energy and environmental issues.

The Health Physics Society sponsors a public information and outreach feature called “Ask-The-Experts” or ATE (see link below!). This service allows anyone with internet access to ask a radiation-related question and receive an answer from an expert in the field. This outreach endeavor is successful, reaching well over 1.5 million people a year. As Editor in Chief, I have oversight of the entirety of the ATE feature.

In 2016, the University of Alabama at Birmingham started a new graduate level health physics program within the School of Health Professions, the only one of its kind in the state of Alabama. As of May 2021, I am the Program Director responsible for the overall management of the program, advising and mentoring of students, budgeting, grant writing, etc.

Huntsville, Alabama Area

My company performs health physics consulting in collaboration with numerous other small companies, including Risk Assessment Corporation. Together we specialize in radiation dose reconstructions, performance assessments, statistical analysis, and data management and analysis for a wide variety of governmental and industry clients.

I taught Radiation Dosimetry, a medical physics graduate level course.

Corvallis, Oregon Area

• As a graduate student I performed original research in environmental protection and risk assessment as part of my thesis and dissertation.• I also completed two research projects for the Electrical Power Research Institute, one in examining dose calculation methodologies for Carbon-14 emissions from nuclear power plants and the second in investigating tritium (H-3) separation technologies for groundwater.• I also created and taught a graduate level course in Liquid Scintillation Counting; taught the introductory course in Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics; and served as a teaching assistant and lecturer for Radioecology and Radiobiology.• As the lead graduate student in Dr. Higley’s research group, I was also responsible for a multicultural research group of 10 graduate students for over two yearsTeaching Assistant and Lecturer:RHP 588 Radioecology (Fall 2012, 2013)RHP 583 Radiobiology (Winter 2013)Instructor:RHP599 Special Topics (Liquid Scintillation Counting) (Spring 2012)NE/RHP 114 Intro to Nuclear Engineering & Radiation Health Physics (Fall 2014)

Sydney, Australia

• I was selected for an Endeavor Research Fellowship, a program sponsored by the Australian government that provides funding for short-term research towards a non-Australian Ph.D. • While at ANSTO I provided innovative computational modeling capabilities to support several research projects.• I also performed field work at a nuclear waste site near Sydney by obtaining tree cores for plutonium particle analysis.• I was selected to present my Ph.D. research to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.

• As a student technician, I was responsible for monitoring personnel and laboratories for radiation exposure.• On my own initiative, I authored operating procedures for the Liquid Scintillation Counter.• I managed the acquisition, storage, handling, and disposal of radioactive materials.• I assisted in performing annual inspections of on-campus radiation use laboratories.• I assisted in verifying that veterinary radiography facilities were in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Tutored small groups in both integral calculus and advanced algebra.
