Dear Prospective employer:

	I am looking for a job in the area of Geotechnical or
Geo-Environmental Engineering.  I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the
Geo-ENvironmental Engineering program at Northwestern University and
will graduate in June 1993.

	My research at Northwestern University has included developing
a real-time, remotely controlled, multiplexed data acquisition system
for monitoring rock mass deformation with Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).
This work has focused upon graphical analysis of digital time series data
and the electronics associated with telecommunications.  Furthermore, I
have successfully conducted research on piezometric water pressure 
measurement using TDR.  This technique is currently under patent
application.  In addition, I have written a graphical software for blast
induced vibrations analysis to perform Single-Degree-Of-Freedom (SDOF)
response spectrum and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) frequency analyses.

	These works are at the forefront of digital data acquisition as
applied in geotechnical or geo-environmental engineering because of their
application in the measurements of ground water flow and rock mass
deformation.  The TDR work has led to a low cost system to digitally
monitor rock mass deformation, subsidence, soil moisture contents,
dielectric constants and conductivities of soils, and pore water pressure.

	My professional experiences have included a complete construction
management activities.  Projects included defense facilities, retaining
walls, highways, tunnels, bridges, and buildings.  My consulting experiences
have included developing a graphical software (NUBLAST) to research blast
induced vibrations.

	I am enclosing my detailed resume.  Please feel free to contact
me anytime if you require any additional information.  I am looking forward
to hearing from you.  My e-mail address is fhuang@casbah.acns.nwu.edu

						Sincerely yours,

						Fei-chiu Huang
