I graduated from Pennsylvania State University in May, 1997 with a BS in chemical engineering.  While at PSU, I worked as a co-op student at DuPont in Seaford, DE and Chattanooga, TN as part of their Nylon division.  Following graduation, I was employed as a process engineer at Praxair in Tonawanda, NY.  

In the fall of 1999, I returned to school to pursue a MS in chemical engineering at Montana State University.  I was employed by the Center for Biofilm Engineering which is a National Science Foundation research center.  My research examined the effects of photocatalysis on the formation and removal of biofilms on glass surfaces in aqueous environments.  I'm happy to say that I (4/12/02) obtained my Master of Science degree.

I am currently a PhD student in engineering at Montana State University.  My current research involves the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging technology to examine fluid flow in porous media.
