These solutions allow our calibration facility to reduce the turn-around time for calibrations and characterizations as well as reducing the potential sources of human error. This is a multi-faceted project that integrates web and database, LabVIEW software development, and IDL software development. * Defined the process for assessing uncertainties in our calibrations and assisted in obtaining accreditation from the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).* Within the Multi-site Software Development team, defined and implemented the required processes to achieve certification as a National Instruments 'Center of Excellence' Show less

Santa Cruz, Ca

* While working toward my Master's of Science degree I worked on researching the properties and applications of iterative image de-noising algorithms. I was responsible for: * Conducting background research on related algorithms, * Producing MatLab implementations of the image processing routines * Running the code on various examples * Producing a peer reviewed technical publication summarizing the results

Livermore, Ca

* While concurrently working toward my Bachelor's degree I gained experience in the experimental characterization of diagnostics to be used at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). I was responsible for: * Delivering a report to the potential users of the diagnostics summarizing their performance * Helping to determine if the diagnostics would meet the necessary requirements for use at the NIF
