During my time in college, I worked as a civilian contractor developing software to better monitor blast noise from Army firing ranges. This required traveling to military bases during seasonal breaks in order to install and process this data. Ultimately, it culminated in a paper written by my mentor Paul Schomer and myself which was published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.
