Scientist and R&D Professional: Experienced across a broad swath of corporate, government, academic, and intellectual environments with the experience to act as a liaison between the their various landscapes. I have held positions at a premier government laboratory, a Silicon Valley start-up, an Internet infrastructure start-up, a top-tier defense contractor, as the scientific communications director for Stephen Wolfram for "A New Kind of Science", as a consultant, and a variety of academic fellowship and teaching positions. A thread running through all of my work—whether basic research, R&D, or consulting in Science and Technology—has been to clarify and energetically develop roughly defined ideas at an early stage of their definition and to create communication links between different scientific, technical, and intellectual cultures.Key interests and skills:** Cross-disciplinary bridge building and liaisons** Enhancing the broad reach of a science or technology area's ecology** Outreach and catalysis of relationships between and within non-profits, academia, industry, and government** Fostering and enhancing relationships and networks: supporting fundraising, entrepreneurship, and investment** Brainstorming, strategizing, and advising** Feasibility analyses of technological and algorithmic ideas** R&D management and basic R&D** Mathematical modeling and system simulation** Data visualization** Data exploration and analysis** Rapid Prototyping** Algorithm development** Contract R&D** Subspecialty in Mathematica consulting and training
