Job title: 
Associate Professor
Department: 
Environmental Science, Policy & Management
Bio/CV: 

My background was originally in physics; my PhD focused on theoretical ecology. My interest in issues of stochasticity and uncertainty has lead me to focus on problems around decision-making under great uncertainty, with connections to economists, computer scientists, and social scientists, in a interdisciplinary field we now think of as data science. I am passionate about teaching and have long been involved in the open science movement, including as founder of two widely recognized projects, https://ropensci.org and https://rocker-project.org
