In 2009, Ray started his career in San Diego, CA, where he took a job as a Postdoctoral Researcher, or post-doc, in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Construction, at San Diego State University.[5] After completing his post-doc, he continued his career in California, in the year 2010, this time at the University of California, San Diego, in La Jolla, CA. He was a visiting scholar.[4] In 2011, Ray moved to the University of California, Merced, where he once again became a post-doc, in the SNRI (Sierra Nevada Research Institute) part of UC Merced. He also did notable work in the field of hydrology here, and it was the first time that he started interacting with hydrology on a global/international scale.[4]

After working at the SNRI for 2 years, Ray left California and moved to Texas. He took up on a job offer from Prairie View A&M University, in 2013. He worked for PVAMU as a research scientist.[6] During the six years that Ray worked as a research scientist, he received some awards, promotions, and funding for projects.[7] Ray's 5th and present occupation is as an associate professor, still at PVAMU.[8] He received this title in 2019, and he has already taught batches of students Geospatial Technology.[9] While Ray's /main occupation is as an associate professor, he still is a researcher and scientist, and apparently continues to develop/research on new concepts and create publications just as before.[10]
International Work[change | change source]
Ray has done work outside of the United States, most notably in India, The Dominican Republic and Nepal. His main work has been in teaching local farmers and companies about how to treat soil, where to plant crops, and how to properly irrigate plants.[11] He has often traveled abroad to less developed countries, for the sole purpose of either giving speeches or doing live demos on certain techniques and strategies for maximum output, again targeted at farmers. Throughout his career, he has secured approximately 2.5 Million US Dollars in NIFA, USDA, and USAID funding, particularly for such countries, and has, according to these organizations, taught many farmers how to do the most effective farming and animal husbandry.[12]

As of December 2020, Ray has published 1 book. The book is titled: "Landslides: Investigation and Monitoring".[14] In short, the book is about Landslide Hazards, and how to recognize and prevent them. The book also has diagrams, charts, and images, and was published in November 2019.[15]
