DX-2, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos, New Mexico (May 2000 - August 2001): I did my master's work with Dr. Jonathan L. Mace at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The work was on quantum wave function confinement in cylindrical geometries via transfer matrix methods. My advisor at Washington State University was Dr. James S. Walker.
Department of EECS, Washington State University
Pullman, Washington (May 1996 - December 1999): As a undergraduate in Computer Science I worked on an Intel funded project to develop an advanced Web (Internet) Analysis and Visualization Environment (WAVE). The project was based on a mathematical technique called conceptual knowledge processing. In addition to programming and work on new XML based technologies, in August of 1997 I gave a lecture on WAVE at a major XML development conference in Montreal, Canada.
