RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests emphasize the application of artificial intelligence and information retrieval methods to tackle data-intensive software engineering problems, with a recent focus on data science infrastructure, software discovery, scientific workflows, knowledge networks, and interdisciplinary applications of all of these interests in the area of earth science. I have served as PI on grants worth over $5 Million. My research has been sponsored by NSF, NASA, and industry.
