I'm a computer scientist and research software engineering lead working to improve our abilities to understand and adapt to our rapidly changing world with ethically grounded 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, effective 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
