📚 My Research
I specialize in geospatial data workflows and data fusion, which I have done anywhere from supercomputers and cloud computing to web-based decision support platforms, real-time sensing, and microcontrollers. I support a diverse portfolio of projects with data analysis, real-time system monitoring, fault detection, behavioral modeling, and systems integration.
I’m passionate about domain-driven problem-solving and have applied my skills to projects in a wide range of topics from traffic operations, traffic safety problems, and building energy simulation to ocean models, population dynamics, energy resilience, balance of plant planning, and the energy-water nexus.
