Welcome to my home page!

I am Ph.D. candidate in computer science at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I am interested in sustainability — specifically, I work to empower communities to make better decisions in pursuit of a more sustainable future. I do this by building new tools for creating and communicating knowledge and by training the next generation of technical knowledge workers.

In my spare time, I enjoy bicycling, reading, hiking and backpacking (especially in the mountains and deserts of the American West), tinkering and building things, and general hacking and programming.


Academic

  • Annotated publications.
  • Supplementary job portfolio — additional materials to support my faculty job search.
  • Cyclopath is a geowiki and route-finding service for cyclists in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. It is a research project which I co-founded and lead.
  • Information for TAs at the UMN Computer Science Department.
  • I created an open-source bibliography manager called Yabman. It’s currently usable but in a pre-alpha state.
  • Lambda, a system for sound processing, which earned me departmental honors at Macalester College.
