I'm a computer scientist and research software engineer working to (hopefully) improve our abilities to understand and adapt to our rapidly changing world with ethically grounded, adaptive, and responsible computational science.
I began my career at ASU in 2006 and have long been a proponent of open, transparent computational science in service of Sustainability, ethical collective action and Peace. Current and past projects include:
- research into collective action and the commons 🤲 via multiplayer "serious games" and experiments, the Virtual Commons
- the Network for Computational Modeling in the Social and Ecological Sciences (CoMSES Net)
- the Open Modeling Foundation's Cyberinfrastructure Working Group
- Synthesizing Knowledge of Past Environments (SKOPE)
- the Consortium of Scientific Software Registries and Repositories (scicodes)
- the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR)
- Research Data Alliance's FAIR For Research Software (FAIR4RS) Working Group
- FORCE11 Software Citation Implementation Working Group
- the Social Ecological Systems Library
- The Software/Data/Library Carpentries instructor and lesson maintainer for the Plotting and Programming in Python and Good Enough Practices for Scientific Computing lessons
- Community Surface Dynamics Modeling Systems' Basic Model Interface (BMI) Council (2022-)
- DataCite Services and Technology Steering Group (2023-)
- Open Modeling Foundation's Cyberinfrastructure Working Group co-chair (2022-)
- Consortium of Scientific Software Registries and Repositories co-chair (2023-2025)
Music up with a local symphony! Here's some of ours:
- The Tempe Symphony Orchestra, plays four free concerts / year at the lovely Tempe Center for the Arts
- The newly formed Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra holds regular concerts at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts
Consider listening to Sibelius, Barber, Beach, Beethoven, Borodin, Brahms, Dvorak, Elgar, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Mozart, Ravel, Saint-Saëns, Tchaikovsky, Рахманинов (Rachmaminoff), and the (list goes on and on ...)
