Four dimensional objects allow for time and space to be connected.
Technological advances in hardware and software have allowed data driven approaches to emerge as powerful tools that can be used in the era of Big Data and “deep analysis.” I work to develop collaborations that assist in the implementation of these technologies for massive data transfers, storage, and specialized analysis approaches in the Earth Sciences.

Optimizing water resources is incredibility challenging with multi-institutional objectives and goals. Many innovative optimization ideas are being explored. One such idea that I have had the privilege to work on is the Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO) project focused on Lake Mendocino located in the Russian River watershed of Northern California. In addtion, my research led to the contrbiution of new tools and techniques to assist water resource managers in making operational decisions.
