1991 M.S.,
Bionucleonics, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, December, 1981 M.S.,
Radiological Health-Health Physics, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
08903, January, 1978 B.S.,
magna cum laude, major in Physics, College
of the Holy Spirit, Mendiola, Manila, Philippines, April, 1973 FURTHER EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERIENCE I was a balik scientist (returning
scientist) for the Radiation Protection Section of the Philippine Nuclear
Research Institute for 1 month in June 1998. In December, 1992, I was the research assistant of Dr.
Beverly Cohen on alpha track etch, smoking problem( i.e. Po-210 and Pb-212 in
cigarette smoke), tracheobronchial cast deposition, radon, particle sizing,
and aerosol instrumentation. I have
experience with the use of a Tandem Van de Graaff and a Van de Graff
accelerator for PIXE-PIGE analyses, reactors, radiation dosimetry and
instrumentation, atomic absorption spectrometry, direct current plasma, gas
chromatograph, UV-VIS spectrometer, x-ray diffraction unit, scanning electron
microscope-x-ray microanalysis, gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry, gases
and vapor analyzers-nitrous oxide, benzene, ozone, xylene, aerosol sampling
instruments, ventilation measurements, etc. June,
1977-May, 1980 I participated in the
Department of Energy (DOE) Marshall Islands Radiological Program at the
Safety and Environmental Protection Division (SEPD), Brookhaven National
Laboratory (BNL). My activities
included a field trip to the Marshall Islands to obtain samples of
vegetation, food, soil, and bioassay samples for radionuclide analysis, air
sampling and resuspension studies, a study of the lifestyle and dietary
habits of the Marshallese. Research
efforts included air sampling and resuspension program and fission track
autoradiography of Marshall Island teeth using several reactors, e.g.
ANL-CP5, BNL-BMRR, BNL-HFBR, and MITR-II. January,
1978-April, 1978. Radiological Control Office, Purdue University. University health physics activities which
included isotope dispensing, radiation surveys, air sampling and counting,
radioactive waste inventory, microwave survey, use of the liquid
scintillation counter. June
5, 1976-August 19, 1976. Health
Physics Summer Training Program at Safety and Environmental Protection
Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, L.I., N.Y. August
1973-August, 1975. Research Associate III, Health Physics Department.
Philippine Atomic Energy Commission(PAEC).
Activities included hazard survey of x-ray machines and calibration of
Co-60, Cs-137, Therapy X-ray, and 4 MeV Linac, personnel monitoring, neutron
activation analysis of diet items, e.g. rice, x-ray fluorescence
spectrometry, and surface evaporation of radioactive liquid waste. FELLOWSHIP:
