RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:  
1982- 1984 Physics Lab of the University of Texas at El Paso, My research was entitled "Magnetocardiography" which was the detection of the magnetic signal of the electromagnetic wave of the heart by using the SQUID (Superconductor Quantum Interference Device) magnetometer. Part of this research was to learn the techniques of handling liquid nitrogen and liquid helium, vacuum techniques,  leak detecting using Varian model 936-40 leak Detector, and Construction and use of Helmoholtz coils.
