Design, plan and manage several research projects investigating contamination in soil, water, and sediment samples.Conduct natural resource field surveys collecting observational, spatial, and environmental data.Document and record field data and observations in a clear and organized manner, prepare logs and other forms from the field notes.Analysis, evaluation and interpret data obtained during field investigations.Create science communication products for various audiences using printed, on-line, social, and video media.Prepare proposals and report for environmental based projects.Coordinate laboratory analysis appropriate to the proper identification and evaluation of samples.Enter and organize data into spreadsheets, screening data for quality control, formatting, and reformatting spreadsheets, and archiving and documenting data sets.Maintain complex relational databases and geodatabases for data collection and analysis.Analyze spatial distribution of data points and perform statistical investigation of spatial data.Ensure soil, water, and sediment samples compliance to applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. Write research reports and present results at group meetings, seminars, and conferences.

Properly handled, controlled, and kept diligent records of chemical and hazardous wastes.Prepared and inventoried complex reagents, chemicals, solutions, media and dyes according to protocol.Provided routine lab support including cleaning and restocking of labs, refilling reagent bottles, washing glassware and recording supplies inventory.Ensured safety and quality assurance practices were followed including maintenance of SDS (Safety Data Sheets) workstations and proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Created and modified geographic data from a variety of source such as text files, hard-copy maps, GPS data, and field notes.Converted data from older sources (digitization) or from multiple sources to a common format.Performed data entry, updated GIS database using workstations, personal computers and GIS software.Analyzed data to identify spatial relationships, display analysis results, and confirm data accuracy.Reviewed input and output of data to ensure integrity of database changes.Manually located addresses using Google Maps or other Internet search engines.

Traveled to various supplier facilities to perform visual and dimensional inspections on manufactured tools, assemblies and/or sub-assemblies.Audited products and supplier’s quality control system to determine compliance with order specifications and compliance with industry standards.Logged and reported daily inspection & rejection results identified during quality analysis activities.Monitored contractor's production schedule to determine any conditions that may cause production delays.

Conducted inspection of manufactured components to ensure conformance to client specifications. Approved incoming raw material by confirming chemical and mechanical specifications; conducting visual and measurement tests; rejecting and returning unacceptable materials.Documented inspection results by completing reports and logs; summarizing re-work and waste; inputting data into quality database.Maximized use of inspection equipment at lowest cost through careful monitoring and maintaining of calibration schedules in accordance with all policies and procedures.

Safely synthesized new polymer products in preparation for chemical and physical laboratory testing.Conducted chemical and physical laboratory tests to assist scientists in making qualitative and quantitative analyses for research and development.Ensured products achieved full compliance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.Documented all work in the form of laboratory reports and in laboratory notebooks.Presented test results to chemist, engineer, and other scientist on the research team during production meetings.

Visually and dimensionally inspected manufactured goods to confirm they meet engineering design standards.Approved incoming materials by confirming specifications; conducting visual and measurement tests; rejecting and returning unacceptable materials.Supervised assembly tests and performed integrity checks to ensure components work as intended.Identified errors and deficient components, made recommendations, and reported on compliance.Collaborated with quality manger in root cause analysis to uncover causes of nonconformance.
