Matt Mccomb Email & Phone Number

Tucson, Az

Aided in construction of groundwater models using MODFLOW from both previous models and a synthesis of private and public information datasets in varying formats, such as well records, geologic logs, groundwater contours, geologic cross sections, and tabular environmental data. Assessed quality and completeness of both structured and unstructured data for potential inclusion, exclusion or extrapolation for modeling and water rights purposes. Constructed utility code to manage data formats and transform existing data into visualization materials. Processed spatial information including shapefiles, geodatabases, large-scale rasters using ArcGIS, QGIS and GRASS platforms to display visual information, retrieve analytical insights, and reach defensible conclusions.

Ventura, Ca

In this position, I supervised fieldwork in all phases of water well construction and maintained stringent compliance with design standards. During this tenure, I performed in-depth geohydrology studies for private and public clients by analyzing data acquired from public resources, such as Department of Water Resources and GAMA; utilized geo-reference geologic maps to assess prospective well construction and expected production. In this role, I resolved GIS problems by translating large-scale raster data into spatial analysis, contours, and grid data. Also, I aided senior manager in formulating land use permits for several agricultural projects and regulatory compliance. I was charged with operating, maintaining, and installing transducers, communicators, and field equipment to ensure data integrity, while collecting water samples and data on river discharge.Key Contributions:• Adopted best practices for digitizing and integrating historical well construction and reservoir data from private and public sources to modernize mapping in ArcGIS and reservoir modeling software across multiple states.• Offered subject matter expertise in drafting, finalizing, and plotting related mapping materials, presentations, and files for large-scale energy asset exchanges, while constructing historical production from well history reports.

Santa Barbara, California Area

During my stint here, I assembled, wired, and installed firmware for 3D printers to print 3D printer parts. I was instrumental in maintaining communication lines with internal teams to achieve departmental objectives. I assumed responsibilities for performing preventative maintenance and repairs of assigned products.Key Contributions:• Directed several trainees, including 60 3D printers, as well as supported in establishing the Goleta offices.

Jerusalem Area, Israel

During my role here, I identified the causes of seawater intrusion and carried out a six-week study of the Dead Sea, coastal aquifers, and pertinent groundwater mechanics using salinity and isotope concentration tracing. I strategically contributed in collecting and testing water samples from the North Dead Sea region to analyze pothole formation risks as a consequence of underground salt dissolution.Key Contributions:• Associated with gathering, analyzing, and refining existing research data to inform current study trends.

Chatsworth, Ca

As an Intern, I delivered exceptional services in field experiments and data collection to Department of Homeland Security, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR). Also, I was tasked with post-collection data processing and reducing truth data, as well as aided control experiments conducted near Salinas, CA, while serving as an instrumented, radio-directed test subject.Key Contributions:• Actively engaged in a six-week project aimed at developing and testing new designs for low-cost ground surveillance radars to facilitate the U.S. Border Patrol with tracking illegal border crossings.
