Experience and Skills
Laboratory
I am familiar with a variety of technical methods and applications that includes histology, radiography, digital microscopy, 3D laser scanning, 3D printing, and associated software (ImagePro-Plus, Photoshop, Mimics, Rapidform, NextEngine, Z-Print, and Polhemus).
Field
During the summer of 2003 I attended archaeological field school at the University of Notre Dame under the guidance of Dr. Mark Schurr. Over the course, three sites were excavated: Collier Lodge 7000 BC – 1900 AD, a Hopewell burial mound 3000 BC, and a turn of the century pioneer cabin. Aside from basic field excavation, artifact sorting techniques, and floatation, I was trained with several types of geophysical survey equipment:
- (GPR) Ground Penetrating Radar
- Electrical Resistivity
- Electromagnetic (EM) Conductivity
- Magnetometer

Student Research Assistantship (SRA) for Dr. Rob Hoppa, 2004/2005 school year/summer, 2007 - present school year/summer
Description of SRA duties: From my SRA I have been involved with a number of projects such as: the Akhmim Mummy Project and Consortium (Dr. Jonathan Elias, Director, Pennsylvania State University), 3D analysis of a pupa/butterfly, and various skeletal specimens (Dr. Mathew Tocheri, Smithsonian Institution). In these projects the main aim was to segment the desired data (skeleton, sarcophagus, wrappings, skin, etc.) and reproduce a 3D model. Some of this work has been placed on public display. The majority of work has been on the Akhmim Mummy Project where models are produced of skulls for facial reconstruction or full-size reproduction of the wrappings/skeleton/skin. The butterfly project focused on segmenting and printing the reproductive organs of a developing pupa. Finally, various models of skeletal elements from the Smithsonian have been produced for non-invasive analysis. Other duties have included planning and implementing workshops/tutorials for student:
- Histology, Digital Imaging, and Microscopy workshop for Dr. Rob Hoppa’s students, 2007 and 2008 (under SRAship)
- 3D Scanning and Rendering workshop, 2008 (under SRAship)
- Radiography and Imaging workshop, 2007 (under SRAship)
