There are two job titles listed in this one experience because as a graduate student often times these two function needed to be balanced. Research needed to be completed while at the same time classes needed to be taught and managed. So while each of the two experiences required very different skill sets, none the less they were often performed while managing required tasks from the other.As a graduate research assistant I, Published work that brought together researchers from across the United States Awarded best poster at 2016 Materials Research Society annual winter conference. Mastered the operation of and maintained a Pulse Laser Deposition system Characterized thin film materials using multiple approaches. Organized, created, and managed safety procedures as the Lab Safety Manager.As a graduate teaching assistant I, Taught general physics with calculus II for 80 students in an 8-week course Developed lesson plans to instruct students in topics such as rotational dynamics, fluid mechanics, oscillations, and wave mechanics. Incorporated online homework submission system to provide timely feedback on assignments Engaged with students in, and developed content for, an active engagement style lecture/recitation to help students develop problem solving skills in physics

Seismic data processing and analysis, which required managing the processing of data to improve the resolution of seismic images. The main goal of seismic data processing is to improve the signal to noise ratio by filtering random noise form the data, or by removing predictable noises such as when we record multiple reflections of the signal off an interface. Some of the noise reductions processes require domain transformations such as Fourier transforms, and transformations into tau-p space. As some of the data sets we worked with could be very large, a major part of my job was also to check all processes for quality. Some of the tasks required to check for quality included picking an appropriate subset of the data to view for error, examine velocity fields for anomalies, and in general make sure our work improved the quality of the image without removing important data.
