EXPERIENCE       Monitoring and Event Response for Harmful Algal Blooms (MERHAB)
                 · Performed pre-analysis on water quality data from approximately 20 monitoring
                   stations located through out the Chesapeake Bay using several methods including;
                   factor analysis, entropy based discretization, and other statistical methods.
                 · Created an evolutionary architecture within MATLAB for the formation of a fuzzy-
                   logic rule-based model representing the habit conditions that predispose particular
                   regions of the Chesapeake Bay to algal blooms of the previously listed species.

                 Research Experience for Undergraduates Program
                 · Developed a three stage mathematical model representing the velocity response of a
                   hydraulic piston to a current applied to a solenoid valve.
                 · Compiled a lab manual demonstrating the different methods that the xPC TargetBox
                   can interface with an external circuit. This lab manual will be incorporated into an
                   upcoming mechatronics course at UMR.
