Experience
- Developing a real-time global visualization platform for considering emergency response efforts - emphasis on visual planning and training tools for emergency response scenarios.
- Developing infrastructure for a visual
analytics research center at the University of Washington
- Architecting and developing a RimSim
simulation environment for improving distributed cognition among first
responders to major natural crises events around the Pacific Rim.
Long-term platform for studying collaboration and role play in a
game-like environment using computer-mediated visualizations and
communications.
-
Project work at The Ocean Project where I provide Web-enablement services for an emerging socially-mediated series of Web sites, including the Watershed-Ocean Initiative site.
- Architecting and developing an earth
sciences visualization pipeline consisting of six components (data
acquisition, metadata encoding, datastream transport, visualization
pipeline, desktop exploration products, advanced classroom exploratory
interfaces). XML database, XML application, dynanic Web server
services, IRIS Explorer modularization, graphics engine, and advanced
hardware.
- Applying 3-D visualization and interactivity
skills to Ocean Science Datasets (and Earth Science Datasets).
- Enhancing soil and vegetation hydrology
model to provide a Web interface that allows model set up and runs
from any Internet connected client. HTML forms to Java Server Pages to
Postgres relational database and database to C to model run and output
generation. Output generation to visualization.
