While taking care of my child as a homemaker, I completed coding projects and attended various online coding courses in order to keep up/enhance my skills. I learned more Python libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, Pandas). I deployed a technical blog with Jekyll and GitHub Pages to showcase some Python projects. I managed the blog and utilized version control.

During my PhD, I used Python for quantitative data analysis, spatial interpolation, and 3-D modelling. I automated cleaning and extraction of structured data from raw instrument measurements. I automated regeneration of plots from data files. I generated basin-wide sequential isopach, paleotopographic, and facies maps. I implemented descriptive geometric.

I upgraded and expanded an innovative supercomputer for an instrument, the Diviner Lunar Radiometer, aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. For example, I built file servers to expand the data storage capacity to 1.6 petabytes. This helped solve the problem of an increasing influx of data from the instrument aboard the spacecraft.

I developed a novel analytical technique for U, Th, Pb, and Ti isotopes in zircon in conjunction with studying metallic elements and REE in igneous rocks. The new technique involved combining empirical temperature and age dating analyses for the mineral zircon using secondary ion mass spectrometry. I subsequently undertook model calculations and.

As part of a team of TA's, I helped make the laboratory curriculum. I instructed undergraduate laboratory courses, including: Earthquakes, Introduction to Oceanography, and Introduction to Earth and Space Sciences.

University Of California, Los Angeles

I managed and operated the scanning electron microscope laboratory. I taught an annual scanning electron microscope short course for visiting scholars. I also regulated containment, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials for the lab. I showed students and postdocs how to use laboratory equipment. I ordered supplies and developed the user schedule for.
