Biax in the Lab

CUrrentĀ Research Projects

My current research revolves around building software and hardware to address scientific and engineering problems. I've worked in the field, constructed numerical models, and spent a lot of time in the lab, but I'm most interested in collecting and displaying data in new and novel ways to solve practical problems. In broad terms, my current research interests are:

  • Data collection software structures and metadata best practices
  • Web data interfaces
  • Data Visualization Methodologies
  • Low Cost Geophysical Sensor Deployment
  • Internet of Things Devices
  • Citizen Science Project Design
