As a member of the Non-Linear Chemical Doser Team, I designed the dual scale and , the hydraulic components(orifice diameter, tubing sizes,and etc), and the float for our lever arm. I started work on the float calculations and the float children page on our Team Wiki but handed them off to Dale Johnson who has taken ownership of that part of the project. I recently picked out the specific hydraulic components needed for our lever arm with Monica Hill and started to set up experiments with Akta Patel and Dale Johnson to troubleshoot actual doser problems, such as clogging, occurring in Hondurasam also responsible for developing the lever calibration procedures. Currently, I am working with the team to build the lever arm prototype. Once that is complete, I will test it and work to minimize the error that we come across during the experimentation. I wrote the Dual Scale and Orifice Page and the Float Calculation Page on the Team Wiki page.

As Team Leader for the Filtration Team, I am responsible for directing the weekly team meetings. I trained new members on the use of MATHCAD, Wiki, and orientation with Project AguaClara. As part of the Clear Well Research, I developed the basic design in MATHCAD and AUTOCAD and conducted experiments validating the design with Carolyn Evans and Sonya Burns.
