I work as a Senior research scientist with the CyberGIS Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with an affiliate appointment at NCSA. My work and research focus on the intersection of advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) (this includes supercomputers, data-intensive computing platforms, and cloud environments) and Geographic Information Science (GIS). I have published a number of papers and lead/managed number of funded projects I play a management role at the CyberGIS Center with duties and responsibilities covering a spectrum activities of which include (a) delivering the activities of a number of funded projects (from multiple federal funding agencies); (b) leading research and proposal development activities; (c) managing the research infrastructure for the CyberGIS Center (e.g. technical program manager for ROGER, a NSF funded supercomputer); (d) teaching courses and mentoring students. I serve as a principal investigator (PI), Co-PI or senior personnel on a number of sponsored grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (e.g. CIF21 DIBBs: Scalable Capabilities for Spatial Data Synthesis, NSF CyberTraining: CIU: Hour of Cyberinfrastructure). I participate or have participated as a technical project manager for a number of sizable funded projects (e.g. NSF MRI Acquisition of a National CyberGIS Facility for Computing and Data-Intensive Geospatial Research and Education); NSF SI2-S2I2 Conceptualization: Geospatial Software Institute). At present, I am a staff member at the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) contributing to the Extended Collaborative Support Services (ECSS) program.
