Education

M.S. MIT, 2001 (Geosystems)
B.A. Harvard University, 1984 (Geology )

Description

Scientific Programmer, System Administrator, Data Analyst, Engineering and Operations support for the Physical Oceanography Group and the GoMOOS project.

Research interests

I am currently working with the Physical Oceanography group led by Neal Pettigrew -- the talented folks at the University of Maine who put together and maintain the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observation System (GoMOOS), which includes buoys, HF radar, and autonomous gliders.

I work with the incoming telemetry from buoys and support the processing, archival, reporting and quality assurance of Ocean Observation System data.  I also help out with instrumentation and marine deployment and recovery of buoys on our regular buoy cruises.

General research interests include marine geology and geophysics, submarine geomorphology, geophysical fluid dynamics, inverse problems in geophysics, computational geometry, signal and image processing, sensor integration, landscape evolution.
