PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
NATIONAL SOLAR OBSERVATORY, TUCSON, AZ
Affiliated scientist (2012-present)
Tenure-track Scientist (2010-2012)
· Developed and implemented improved data reduction code resulting in new synoptic data products for community use and smaller (by 2X) errors in measured quantities
· Tested and validated pipeline code and promoted to community: led to significantly higher data quality and usage (data requests tripled)
· Calibrated and documented data procedures & products allowing wider and more productive use of data
· Researched, wrote, edited and published several scientific and technical papers
· Mentored students and collaborated with scientists and software engineers ensuring accuracy of data products
MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR SOLAR SYSTEM RESEARCH, GERMANY 2007 – 2009
Tenure-track Scientist (2009-2010)
Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2007-2009)
· Designed and programmed code for analyzing spectral and imaging time series data (filtering, pattern recognition) leading to 3x faster and more robust analysis
· Planned and coordinated multi-instrument observations allowing for joint studies using 3 ground-based and 1 space-based telescopes
· Implemented and documented data reduction pipeline allowing for fast in-house reduction and reconstruction of solar imaging data
NATIONAL CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH, BOULDER, CO 2002 - 2007
Newkirk Graduate Research Assistant (2002-2007)
· Conducted research: spectral data analysis, modeling, validation and optimization of inversion procedures
· Visitor (2002)
· Researched He I resonance line formation for MSc
