Recognizing excellence in leadership for the health of our community and planet.
I build tools to improve our understanding of the world. My work involves atmospheric modeling, big data architecture, machine learning, HPC and cloud computing, server/network administration, and measurement control system development.
I've designed measurement systems and analysis frameworks for Google Street View cars, Salt Lake City's light-rail system, vehicle based mobile laboratories, and multiple networks of remote measurement systems. These data paired with atmospheric models are used to quantify the urban carbon cycle, evaluate impacts of pollution exposure on cardiovascular and respiratory illness, estimate bulk methane fluxes from developing oil and gas basins, and examine chemical processes driving the formation of particulate matter.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me climbing mountains.
