Master of Urban Spatial Analytics

Focus on land use and environmental planning applications for GIS, interactive data visualization, web based mapping applications, spatial statistics, predictive modeling, and data driven decision making.
Capstone: Using Raster Channelization Techniques to Build a Hyperspace Network for the Star Wars Galaxy, available upon request.

Concentration on architectural conservation and documentation with a focus on archaeological conservation.
Thesis: Predictive Analysis of Stone Decay Mechanisms and Treatments on William Strickland’s ‘Second Bank of the United States’, available for download or upon request.

Concentration was on archaeology and physical anthropology with an archaeology field school at the Mayan Site of Blue Creek in Belize.

Concentration on architectural history, vernacular architecture, and historic research and documentation.

Managed stormwater billing database used for parcel based billing system.
Assessed accuracy of and updated records of water accounts, land ownership, parcel boundaries, and surface coverage using data from multiple sources.
Conducted analyses of PWD datasets using SQL and within ArcGIS to assess data accuracy and identify geographic areas for more intense review and data clean up.
Designed and implemented a strategy for billing previously unbilled parcels without PWD’s database.
Produced analysis on the PWD’s customer base of bulk updating datasets for analysis in water rate filings.
Developed workflow for editing land cover data across city departments.
Provided internal city and external facing customer support for billing issues including explanation of parcel based billing, billing history reviews, and account adjustments.
Worked directly with customers to identify and resolve problems with billing data.

Managed the daily operations for the digitization and mapping of the Gordion and Al-Hiba archaeological sites.
Organized and assigned work, trained staff in the use of mapping and design software, and quality assessment.
Specialized data processing, produced digital 3D reconstructions, produced workflows, and managed technical resources.

Digitization of archival maps and documents, digital image processing, georeferencing of maps, and vectorization for the Digital Gordion Mapping Project.

Documentation and conservation of archaeological remains at Gordion including cleaning, orthorectified photography, and condition surveys.

Field survey and measured drawings for architectural remains and site wide maps.
Maintenance of excavation computers, network infrastructure, and data backup.

Checking data against aerial imagery and standardized it for use in GPS routing for commercial devices and Enhanced 911.
