Research Interests:

I am interested in the human -computer interaction challenges involved in supporting users trying to make sense

of complex time-oriented datasets: for example programmers debugging by trying to understand program

misbehaviors captured in a program trace, or scientists trying to understand the behaviors of computer mo dels.

In my current PhD research I am studying the work practices of cognitive modelers (psychologists who model

cognition in order to understand human behavior). My approach involves capturing and making explicit the

evaluation abstractions that are usually implicit in a user s exploration of model output. I have been building an

experimental tool to support modelers at the Air Force Research Laboratory who use the ACT-R and RML cognitive

modeling languages.

Sample of projects completed as software engineering contracts (1990-2008):

Project Analysis Provided technical and conceptual assistance to a project manager hired to analyze a large and

severely delayed software project, in terms of both the status of project management, and the structure and

progress of the product itself. After the analysis, I planned, installed, operated, and trained developers to

use a new configuration management system using Visual SourceSafe, did installation, administration and

training for defect tracking software, created custom tools in Visual Basic for carrying out a biweekly

build, and developed some modules in Visual Basic as part of the product itself. (Consultant for Summ it

Technology, 3300 South Parker Road, Aurora, CO. April - October 2000)

Digital Document Repository Management of a software system for reception, indexing, and storage of scanned

images of real estate documents at a title company data center. Responsibilities included supervision of

three part-time personnel; liaison with fourteen county clerks supplying data; porting of code from a non -

Y2K compliant Data General UNIX system to Red Hat Linux; design, creation, and support for several

Visual Basic image viewer programs; UNIX system configuration and administration; Perl, UNIX shell,

2

and C programming; design and production of a plat image distribution consisting of 100+ CDs of images,

a viewer, and a database. (Consultant for SKLD, 720 S. Colorado, Suite 1000N, Denver CO. August 1999
