Education:

B.S., Geology, North Carolina State University

M.S., Geology, North Carolina State University

Experience:

Exploration geophysicist with seven years of experience with service companies in processing and interpreting seismic 2-D and 3-D data. Geographic area worked include the Gulf of Mexico shelf and deepwater areas. Highly computer literate. Skilled in UNIX, VAX VMS, Windows NT, Landmark, Apollo, Microsoft Office, and Lotus 1-2-3.

Used convolution integral to create synthetic seismic data including random noise. Designed a Fortran program to utilize an iterative algorithm to deconvolve synthetic data. Successfully validated and applied the algorithm to real data.

Performed geophysical processing of Gulf of Mexico OCS and deepwater seismic data from deconvolution to stacking and migration, using a UNIX/TSO operating system with company software. Analyzed seismic profiles using workstations.

Reformatted and demultiplexed 2-D and 3-D seismic data, and processed the data from deconvolution to migration using TIPEX software. Used workstations to perform interpretation and quality control.

Taught Physical Geology and the associated lab, four sessions per semester. Advised students with problems in freshman mathematics.

Gained geophysical and geological field experience conducting a study of an Igneous rock batholith in North Carolina for nuclear repository viability. Mapped the rocks of southwestern New Mexico, northeastern Texas, and Colorado. Mapped a limestone formation in England.
