Experience

Research Faculty, Center for Secure and Intelligent Critical Systems, Old Dominion University, Suffolk, VA, 2014-present (Assistant Professor 2014-2022); (Associate Professor 2022- present)

Lead research on data science and predictive analytics in areas ranging including the obesity epidemic in the USA, improving risk communication, and religiosity and extremism in the Middle East. In total this work has yielded $ 4,697,850 ($3,917,840 of Credit) in externally funded research with me serving as principal investigator.

Co-led research by extracting useful information from new and diverse data sources to help inform decision making in domains from cyber security (understanding Advanced Persistent Cyber Threats), medical (studying the efficacy of game-based training for critical care personnel in the armed forces), emergency services (providing risk analysis for bioterror threats) and Department of Defense (DoD) applications (developing algorithms to effective search databases to facilitate the United States Navy establishing internal partnering agreements with ally nations). In total with work has yielded $6,050,108 ($1,113,127 of Credit) in externally funded research as co-principal investigator.

Conduct research on simulation validation and debugging. Support simulation platforms are testing grounds for these methods with partial funding from principal investigator and co-principal investigator efforts (7 journal publications, 14 peer-reviewed conference papers and 3 book chapters).

Visiting Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department. Gettysburg College. Gettysburg, PA, 2013- 2014

Taught computer science courses and supervise research for undergraduate students (3 courses covering 6 section taught, 2 undergraduate research projects supervised).

Post-doctoral Research Associate, VMASC, Old Dominion University, Suffolk, VA, 2012 – 2013

Researched composability, interoperability, debugging, verification and validation supporting ongoing funded projects.

Developed software to facilitate simulation debugging verification and validation used extensively on funded projects.

Researched the epistemological nature of modeling and simulation.
