Biography

My research focuses on interdisciplinary (between disciplines) and transdisciplinary (between disciplines and society) applications of new media (things like web, physical computing using sensors, simulation games, interactive media) and other cognitive tools (e.g. games, heuristics, analogies, and maps) to difficult problems including sustainability, public health, policy development, and institutional infrastructures.

As a Design Ecologist at the Center for Study of Science, Technology, and Policy, I contributes to policy research and analysis, public engagement, and simulation game development for sectors ranging from energy, climate change, public health, and institutional infrastructures.

I draw knowledge and practices from community evolution, population ecology, and social studies of science and technology to other areas and domains including interaction and information design, teaching, learning, and educational institutions, simulation and gaming, futures studies, and demand-side management of energy and consumption practices.
