Bryan/College Station, Texas Area

In performing the duties of a graduate teacher assistant, I am responsible for running weekly laboratory experiment assignments as part of the curriculum schedule for undergraduate courses. This course, entitled Principles of Electrical Engineering, focuses on the fundamental topics of electrical circuit and electronics analysis. The course is targeted towards engineering students not enrolled in the electrical and computer engineering field. Additional duties for this position includes grading tasks for the laboratory assignments, as well as scheduling tasks with the course professor and other teacher assistants for the course.

El Paso, Texas Area

Carried out programming job assignments involving database changes and monitoring under the Ohio Medicaid Information Technology System. Performed telecommuting duties under this position for academic purposes.

Houston, Texas Area

Worked in EV8 Wireless Communications Branch in the project “Support for communications test laboratory” for creating an interface for satellite simulation devices. Additionally worked in access-control for Project Morpheus.

El Paso, Texas Area

Performed analysis duties of circuit design for military equipment, including power supplies for the Patriot radar, for troubleshooting, testing, and calibration purposes.

El Paso, Texas Area

Focus of the research included the implicational usage of optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) strain sensors integrated as part of fiber/resin composite materials for objects such as pressurized tanks or airplane wings in current technologies. With multiple sensors and multiple axis of strain measurement per sensor, a strain field can be measured and its location derived by way of digital signal processing (DSP) techniques and simple geometric triangulation. Faculty adviser for this inquiry was Dr. Virgilio Gonzalez of the electrical engineering department at UTEP.
