Background
- Interdisciplinary Information Systems Scientist
- Research interests include mathematical modeling and computational methods for complex information systems, semantic technology, uncertainty quantification, and high performance computing
- Focuses on integrating mathematical, formal, and conceptual models of complex information systems for interdisciplinary data science applications
- Employs methods from computational topology, order and lattice theory, hypergraph analytics, generalized information theory, non-standard probability, multi-relational data modeling, and probabilistic graphical models
- Integrates semantic information theory and computational semiotics within a cybernetic philosophy of modeling and evolutionary systems
- Actively engaged in semantic technology, formal ontologies, and software engineering
- Rooted in the intellectual traditions of general systems theory, cybernetics, and mathematical systems theory
