Graduate Project Assistant Aug 93-Jan 95. Programmed
atomistic computer simulations of various defects in a crystal
lattice; developed new visualization techniques for simulation data
by integrating PV-WAVE, AVS and other off-the-shelf and custom-coded
programs; generated both MPEG and QuickTime animations to present data;
programmed in C and FORTRAN; wrote journal papers.
Unix Systems Administrator Oct 93-Jan 95. Set up, maintained, and installed both commercial and public-domain software; established TCP/IP and NFS services; instructed members of research group in Unix; installed and configured X-terminals; wrote several successful proposals for supercomputer time, set up and maintained the granted accounts and ported in house software to the supercomputing hosts.

Research Assistant for the Intermediate
Energy Nuclear Group Jan 90-Aug 90, May 91-Dec 91. Designed and built
gas-handling system for wire chamber detectors; replayed/analyzed data
for the nuclear reactions p(n,gamma)d and d(p,gamma)3He;
programmed simulations of various detector-target geometries and wrote
programs which assisted in the management and presentation of
data.
Teaching Assistant Aug 88-Dec 89, Aug 90-May 91. Taught labs and recitation classes for general physics courses; assisted instruction of electronics lab; wrote a manual explaining the use of both MS-DOS and the circuit simulation program PSPICE; assisted observing sessions and graded papers for astronomy classes; tutored sophmore level physics students.
