August 2019 - Present
Research Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND.
I am working with a team of research to conduct significant scientific research.

August 2011 - 2019
Associate Research Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND.
I am working with the aircraft group within the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and with scientists around the work to conduct significant scientific research.

July 2002 - July 2011
Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND.
I am working with the aircraft group within the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and with scientists around the work to conduct significant scientific research.

April 2001 - June 2002
Scientific Computing Research Associate at the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, Grand Forks, ND.
Worked with the Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium to develop products and services for agriculture and natural resource management using satellite technology. 

January 1999 - March 2001
Research Associate at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, Boulder, CO.
Worked with the aerosol group of the Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory to evaluate uncertainties in satellite retrievals of aerosol optical depth due to assumptions made in the aerosol retrieval algorithm.  The research aim is to use statistics derived from long-term, in situ aerosol measurements to quantify the uncertainties in satellite retrievals due to assumptions made about the aerosol properties. 

September 1995 - December 1998
Research Assistantship in the Department of Atmospheric Science, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY.
Worked with Dr. Terry Deshler on balloon-borne aerosol measurements.  During this work, I conducted an extensive calibration of a new balloon-borne cloud condensation nuclei counter and developed C and Matlab codes to process and analyze the aerosol measurements.

June 1994 - August 1994
Internship at Science Applications International Corporation, Hampton, VA.
Worked with Dr. Er-Woom Chiou at NASA Langley Research Center developing IDL and FORTRAN codes for the reconstruction of SAGE II ozone and water vapor fields for the polar regions.

September 1993 - August 1995.
Research Assistantship Department of Geological Engineering and Science, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI.
Worked with Dr. William Rose on remote sensing of volcanic ash clouds using AVHRR and SSMI data. Developed IDL and FORTRAN codes to process and analyze satellite data.

1991-1993 school years
