Bio
I grew up on a farm in southern Idaho near Meridian. I do photography of all types in my spare time with an emphasis on scientific imagery. Photomicroscopy, astrophotography, high-speed, etc. I also have an interest in environmental issues / species conservation and habitat restoration.
I am currently working on state-of-charge systems for zinc-air batteries and plan to do my master's thesis on this. I have worked on microbattery power management systems, coulomb-counter implementation, and low-power RF transceiver system design, and medium power (5-10W) RF amplifiers.
Future
My dream job would be to work in or near the rain forests of the world, and able to do photography and research at the same time. I would like to use my talents to help those who cannot survive in the face of the human machine and give them a fighting chance. Being a technician in a group of biologists in the field would be amazing. At some point after I get tired of doing this I would like to work for JPL and work on spacecraft.
Actually, the best possible scenario would be to work on space hardware and be able to make enough money to volunteer in the Amazon Rainforest with primates.
