Research Experience
Cyberinfrastrcture Cyberinfrastructure Capability and Workforce Development; University of Missouri, 2019-present.
The development of a regional Cyber Team to enhance and grow institutional infrastructure capability, encourage adoption, and to promote workforce development as a model for national growth.Living Laboratory for Energy Management Research; University of Florida, 2010-present.
The instrumentation and analysis of energy usage and occupation of a campus building to serve as a living laboratory for research on energy optimization and control.A Web Based Integrated Modeling, Control and Optimization Framework for Clean Technologies; University of Florida, funded by Solarsa Inc., 2009-2011.
Principal investigator for a multi-disciplinary team working with industrial partners to develop performance and optimization models along with an integrated monitoring and control framework for HVAC systems that utilize clean energy technologies. Research lead for the integration framework, optimization formulation and computation.Context Aware Performance Models for Multi-Core Algorithms; University of Florida, 2009-present.
Development of tools for the collection and analysis of performance data for multi-core algorithms. This work associates performance counter data with algorithm context that generated it giving detailed insight into the impact of multi-core computing on algorithm design. This work enables the creation of algorithms that scale on multi-core systems.A Hardware and Software Reference Platform for the Operations Research Community; University of Florida, 2008-2010.
Developed a self-replicating Linux distribution for the PlayStation 3 for the operations research community to be used as a reference platform for the publication of numerical results and algorithm implementations. The goal of this research is to promote the open dissemination and review of numerical implementations and provide a low-cost, next generation, instructional tool for parallel computation.Continuous State Space Modeling for Real Time Performance Prediction in Manufacturing Systems; Oklahoma State University, funded by GM, 2006.
Investigated a data-driven modeling approach based on continuous-time nonlinear dynamic systems principles for modeling assembly operations for the accurate prediction of aggregate performance.Distributed Resource Allocation for Supply Chain Networks; University of Massachusetts Amherst, funded by IBM, 2005.
Developed and analyzed multi-agent negotiation protocols for resource allocation in distributed decision making systems with applications in military and civilian supply chain management and distributed sensor networks.Scientific Computational Grid Management; University of Massachusetts Amherst, 2004-2006.
Developed and managed multiple computational clusters and grid middleware for shared scientific computing for multiple research projects.Design and Analysis Information Management System; University of Massachusetts Amherst, funded by NASA, 1998-2004.
"The Design and Analysis Information Management System is a distributed decision making platform for dynamically integrating and executing engineering analysis tools that are deployed in computational and data grids."Autonomous Negotiating Teams (ANT); University of Massachusetts Amherst, funded by DARPA, 1999-2001.
"The goal of Autonomous Negotiating Teams is to autonomously negotiate the assignment and customization of resources, such as weapons, to tasks, such as moving targets. To do this we must enable designers to build systems that operate effectively in highly decentralized environments, making maximum use of local information, providing solutions that are both good enough, and soon enough."Multi-Agent Design Architecture (MADA); Florida State University, funded by NASA, 1997-1998.
"Integrated Design system (IDS) is an integration of broad range of high fidelity knowledge from expert sources in near real time to synthesize and refine design and product realization."Rapid Design Exploration and Optimization, Interactive Gimbal Design (RaDEO-IGD); Florida State University, funded by DARPA, 1996.
"The IGD system will offer the user the ability to interrupt the automated design process, access a specific application product, potentially make changes to both the design variables and the design intent, capture the knowledge associated with those changes, and then continue in the design process under the control of the IGD system."Internet Traffic Analysis; Florida State University, 1994.
An early informal work group to collect and analyze data produced by Internet browsing activity used for the development of techniques for web site process improvement.
