Background

About Carson Maki

STATUS: Furthering career development at Schlumberger Oil & Gas- Beyond my funded research in bulk-wave ultrasound and audio-visual activities, I am an adept mechanical engineer with my master's in mechanical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. I currently work in Rocks & Fluids Sustaining at Schlumberger- I strongly believe that a positive attitude, forward-thinking mindset, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge are essential to success in today's world. My curious nature has led me to investigate several different topics of research- Detecting and characterizing compound defect structures in bonded specimens via angle-beam ultrasound and wavefield imaging - Analyzing and modeling the only known natural occurrence of Faraday wave patterns (i.e. male alligator mating calls)- Mathematically modeling human perception of timbre, a subjective quality of a musical instrument - Analyzing and altering the room acoustics of Crawley Forum (performance hall at Hampden-Sydney College) My interest in various topics of research and my drive to understand physical systems has given me the tools, experience, and analytical proficiency to perform well in a multitude of different positions. My experience as a physics and mathematics tutor, music producer, and Chair of the Audio Engineering division of the Music Interests Club at my undergraduate university have taught me how to explain complex ideas in understandable terms, collaborate with other people to complete a common goal, and lead others to succeed respectively- I enjoy making new professional acquaintances. Reach out if you want to talk engineering, acoustics, or music. Specialties: analytical problem-solving, excellent verbal & written communication skills, creative design, intuitive understanding of physical systems
