COMMITTEES
  • SMA Software Group (2006-present): Responsibilities include discussing and designing operational software for the Submillimeter array. We also project ahead to determine which software will be needed as the array grows in maturity and its user community expands.
  • CARMA Configuration Committee (2003): Responsibilities included designing a less expensive, scientifically competitive array design for the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) which will be built by combining existing BIMA and OVRO millimeter arrays. I was also responsible for verifying that the arrays will fit within the allowed site boundary and within the rugged geography.
  • CARMA Operations Committee (2003-2004): Responsibilities will included being the scientific advisor to the construction team responsible for building the concrete pads on which the antennas will be placed. I was also responsible for devising an efficient plan for the movement of antennas from one configuration to another.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
  • Co-mentor for Keaholoa STEM Program (2006): I participated in the Keaholoa STEM Program whos goal is to increase enrollment, support, and graduation rates of Native Hawaiian students at UH-Hilo in science & mathematics disciplines, and increase familiarity and the use of related technology. I co-mentored a student from UHH who was working on a project to use our SMA data to monitor atmospheric stability over the course of a year.
  • Supervisor of Undergraduate Research Project (2003): For the Spring 2003 semester at the University of Maryland I supervised an undergraduate research student who was interested in radio astronomy techniques. I trained him in spectral line reduction and analysis and a research paper will likely result from his work.
  • Teaching Assistant (1994-2001): Responsibilities include demonstrating labs, running tutorials and marking at an undergraduate level for both the McMaster Department of Physics and Astronomy and Mathematics Department and also at Saint Mary's University.
  • Planetarium Demonstrator (1996-2001): Presenting planetarium shows for a wide variety of audiences, including groups of amateur astronomers, upper level undergraduate physics students, high schools, elementary schools, special needs groups, Brownies, Beavers, Cubs, Girl Guides, and public shows that often contain a wide variety of backgrounds in the same group.

OTHER EMPLOYMENT

  • Student-Web Development (2000-2001): Created and developed McMaster Automated Class Evaluations (M.A.C.E.), a program that allows the class to submit anonymous comments on in-class presentations. It also allows instructors to collect, view, and send out all these comments grouped by either class presentation or by an individual student.
  • Consulting (2000-2001): I was contracted (in partnership with Patricia Monger) by a consulting firm to create an on-line survey where clients assess how their organization rates in the areas of strategic integration. The results will automatically recommend services provided by the consulting firm.
  • Web-Cam Security (1999): Helped McMaster Security install a series of hidden web-cams connected to the internet to allow them after hours monitoring of offices during a spell of break-ins.
  • Research Assistant: D.A. Clarke (1994-1995)
  • NSERC Undergraduate Research Assistant: D.A. Clarke (1993-1994).
  • Price Club/Costco (1993 - 1995): Warehouse worker, shelf/freezer stocker.
  • McDonalds Restaurant (1988 - 1994): Everything, including all night maintenance and truck unloading.

OUTREACH

  • I give regular ``Tour with an Astronomer'' sessions at the nearby `Imiloa Astronomy Center.
  • I created designed the SMA Display Booth which travels around to conferences to promote the SMA and its capabilities.
  • I designed and created the SMA page (May) of the 2006 AAS calendar.
  • I give tours of the SMA when specialty groups visit.
  • I gave live video interviews from the SMA control room in front of hundreds of people who went to UH conference rooms to watch the ``Deep Impact'' comet collision.
  • I created the website for the Canadian Astronomical Society (www.casca.ca). It is the first CASCA website to have an online search-able directory of all its members. The web page is used by over 25 people per day and has been visited by over 4000 different people from all over the world in its first eight months. It is also the host for Canada's well publicized `Long Range Plan' website describing the plans for the future of astronomy in Canada. (Update: Since I gave up control of the page, it has been heavily modified with no attention paid to logic or aesthetics. The current version does NOT reflect the original design. Even the javascript image loader had been broken.)
  • In order to help organize the Canadian astronomical community in our effort to contact all Canadian Members of Parliament to discuss Canada's Long Range Plan for astronomy in the next decade, I created the MP Outreach page (available from www.casca.ca). It acted as a `base camp' for all people who were planning on meeting with MPs. It provided all the relevant and necessary information to organize a successful meeting with local MPs. It also has an interactive database of all the members of parliament in Canada which allows CASCA Members to see who has been contacted already and enter comments on how the meetings went. A representative of the Canadian Association of Physicists has expressed interest in obtaining a copy to help organize their campaign to raise government awareness regarding a new reactor that will hopefully be built in Chalk River, Ontario.

PROGRAMMING / INTERNET

  • I have writen two scripts which allow scientists and engineers to quickly download and view SMA data. It is currently used by the engineers to check phase stability and other variables not recorded by the telescope telemetry. It is also used by the SMA scheduler to check the quality of the previous nights observations to see if a project needs to be rescheduled for that night.
  • I created and co-designed the web based SMA Observing Script Generator. Prior to this, SMA observing scripts were hand coded in PERL, often by observers with little or no PERL experience resulting in observing scripts that often crashed during the night or resulted in incorrect observing sequences. I wrote a web based interface where SMA observers simply type the names of the sources and coordinates (etc) into a web form and my PHP web page (along with Daisuke Iono's script template) create the observing scripts without the need for observers to know any PERL.
  • I designed and created the web page for the 2001 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Astronomical Society (CASCA) including a web based registration page and abstract submission page (http://casca2001.mcmaster.ca). JJ Kavelaars and I also created a secure credit card payment page from scratch. All of this was done using PHP and mySQL.
  • I wrote, developed and maintained the McMaster Automated Class Evaluation (M.A.C.E.) Software for the Physics Department. This is a web-based, database-driven program that allows students to evaluate their peers in anonymity, yet keeps track of all comments so that the class can be graded for participation based on the amount and quality of the comments they submit. It has grown into a totally interactive package that saves the instructors much paperwork.
  • I am working in conjunction with Patricia Monger on a web-based survey that will allow the consulting firm The Neufeld Group to keep track of employee opinion and morale. It will also allow new clients to determine what services The Neufeld Group can provide for them, by filling out online questionnaires.
  • As part of my B.Sc. Thesis work, I wrote FORTRAN code that would enable ZEUS-3D to treat momentum as a fourth dimension. The purpose of this was to allow calculation of cosmic ray pressure using the equation developed by J. Skilling (1975, MNRAS, 172, 557).
  • I created and maintain the current website for the Canadian Astronomical Society Graduate Student Committee. It also has an online search-able directory of all its members.
  • I created and maintain the website for the McMaster Arts and Science Programs 2nd year physics course. It also has an online search-able database of all the solutions to problems assigned in class.
  • I maintain a personal web site (http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~gpetitpas).
