• 1993

  Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

  Studied geotechnical engineering. My research extended from my MS work on the multiaxial response of geomembranes

  which are used in the construction of municipal solid waste landfills. The research was supervised by Dr. Jonathan D. Bray

  and sponsored by the David and Lucille Packard Foundation

  and the National Science Foundation. Obtained minors in numerical analysis and environmental engineering.

  Master of Science (MS)

  Studied geotechnical engineering. Research was on the multiaxial response of geomembranes

  which are used in the construction of municipal solid waste landfills. The research was supervised by Dr. Philippe Bourdeau and Dr. Jonathan D. Bray

  and sponsored by the US Dept. of Education under a GANN fellowship. Developed small-scale

  prototype multi-axial tension test apparatus for investigating biaxial stress-strain properties of geomembranes. This work culminated in developed guidelines for the design of HDPE subjected to out-of-plane settlement. \n\nIn the spring of 1992

  I worked with Prof. Gerald A. Leonards on slope stability analyses for the Indianapolis Water Company along the High Banks Canal. This was a lifeline structure that provides the primary source of water for more than one half of the residents of Indianapolis

  Indiana. In the summer of 1992

  I performed field reconnaissance

  trenching and mapping of fault rupture from the 1992 Landers

  California earthquake.
