TEACHING EXPERIENCE
UA Teaching Assistantships: (i) Spring 2000, SWES 453/553 Remote Sensing of
Environment, and (ii) Spring 2002, SWES 508 Technical Writing for the Life Sciences.
Remote sensing topics covered included: Introduction to Radiometry, Soil and
Vegetation Optical Properties, fAPAR, LAI, VI, BRDF, Image Processing/ PCA,
Atmosphere, Surface Temperature. Instrument use includes hyper- and multi-spectral
radiometers (such as the Barnes, SE-590, ASD), pyranometers, ceptometers, weather

instruments, leaf-area meters, soil moisture and temperature sensors, and infra-red
gun/sensors. Wrote and conducted labs, including the introduction, objectives and
methods, and experimental design. Set up the field experiments and was responsible for
transporting and operation of the equipment. Technical writing topics included how to
put together a journal article, searching for literature and reading, writing, and reviewing
research papers and publications, and applying for research grants. I’ve been working
with graduate students at the UA from two departments, the Soil, Water, and
Environmental Science (SWES) and the School of Natural Resources and Environment
(SNRE). I have also assisted graduate students on their field research and served on their
committees at Wright State University in Ohio for both masters and dissertation projects.
