SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES
- Development of the application of synchrotron-based x-ray microtomography for use in investigating multi-phase flow phenomena in soil and environmental sciences.
- Quantification of hydrologic processes from microtomographic x-ray images using cluster analysis and other image classification techniques applied to multi-phase flow imagery.
- Supervision of PhD students (Britt Christensen, Mark Porter), M.Sc. student (Rebecca Weaver),and undergraduate students (Danielle Jansik) on topics such as advanced hydraulic property measurements, use of medical and synchrotron x-ray radiation sources in hydrologic research, pore-scale multi-phase flow modeling, groundwater modeling and management, and film behavior in crushed volcanic tuff.
- Teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in the Geosciences and Civil Engineering departments at Oregon State University (2003-)
- Developing and managing research experiences for female high-school students.
