Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand

Utrecht Area, Netherlands

Experience: Model/tool development (Excel, VBA, Python, MATLAB, R); Bayesian statistics/modeling (HUGIN); and intermediate front- and back-end web development (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Angular, React, Express, Node.js, Django, MySQL, PostgreSQL)• Worked on and created risk assessments, risk methodology, contingency plans, and support tools for geothermal, heat storage, and carbon storage projects, along with other sustainable energy systems, in the Subsurface Energy Transition team of the Applied Geosciences department in TNO for both public and private contracts.• Programmed and developed models to assess these systems, including a module-based model to simulate compressed air and hydrogen storage systems in salt caverns and depleted gas fields; a statistical analysis of well integrity for well re-use based off of geomechanical and geochemical numerical simulations; a geothermal energy information map for the Netherlands, ThermoGIS; an event tree analysis of geothermal site development; a multi-criteria analysis for CO2 storage or H2 buffer capacity of sites; and an economic appraisal coupled with a technical evaluation for geothermal power.• Developed the front- and back-end of websites and web tools to support projects, assist operators, and inform decision-makers and the public.• Contributed to European projects to guide policies around sustainable subsurface systems.• Assisted in proposal writing for European projects dealing with risk assessment and well integrity.

Department Of Environmental Engineering

Worked under Dr. Seth Guikema for the following projects:• Modeled infrastructure vulnerability from hurricanes with MATLAB, EPANET, and R by coupling power and water networks for St. Kitts, running wind simulations, emulating power outages, and identifying broken water wells in a closed system. • Conducted data analyses on tsunami damage in Japan using R.

Department Of Environmental Engineering

Worked under Dr. Grace Brush for the following project:• Performed analyses (in R and VBA) of collected tree data to observe the effects of hydrology and geomorphology on vegetation by investigating patterns in nutrients, species, and substrate.

Department Of Environmental Engineering

Worked under Chris Kelley and Dr. Bill Ball for the following project:• Worked on the design and implementation of an inexpensive and easy-to-use microcontroller-based device that assesses turbidity in water treatment plants. Prepared samples of turbid water, worked with commercial turbidimeters, tested the device and sensors over a range of turbidities, and adjusted the microcontroller code to function with different sensors. Served as project manager for the expansion of production and further development of the turbidimeter. Began production of the device for tests from interested treatment plants (nationally and internationally). Helped submit an article to Sensors detailing how to create the turbidimeter and wider applications. Was part of the team to be awarded Phase 2 funding from the EPA People, Prosperity, and Planet (P3) Award for 2014.

Department Of Environmental Engineering

Was a TA under Dr. Hedy Alavi doing the following tasks:• Helped students in an introductory environmental engineering course and a hazardous waste management course.• Assessed their work on topics ranging from water and wastewater treatment to risk decision to environmental policy and science.

Baltimore, Maryland

Active as Canoeing Leader, part of Office Staff, part of the Selection Team, and as Pre-Orientation Leader doing the following tasks:• Ran at least one canoeing trip a semester with about eight-person groups of students.• Responded to emails, phone calls, and walk-ins about the program and trips, and file students’ paperwork for these trips.• Selected new canoeing leaders from a pool of applicants• Guided groups of incoming freshman on a week-long canoeing and hiking trip with the program

Amherst, Ny

Worked under Dr. Alan Rabideau for the following project:• Conducted groundwater modeling of a poplar-based phytoremediation system to investigate the interaction of the contaminated groundwater with the environment.• Performed field work testing hydraulic conductivity in wells at the site.• Measured the flow of a nearby stream to see any effects from the tree barrier.• Created an assessment for the health of the trees used in the phytoremediation.
