BIO

I am interested in how information-rich computational systems can better support human discovery and learning, particularly through tools that enable more interpretable and collaborative forms of understanding and communication. Focus areas include:

 

  • Intelligent systems for environmental and social challenges
  • GIScience and spatial data science
  • Representation across machine learning models, natural language, and domain-specific data
  • Dynamic and automated scientific workflow systems
  • Decentralized knowledge systems
