My view of the world is multiagent: Actors interact with each other in manifold contexts; from running to fighting to parenting. I am trained in political science and computational social science, so I am interested in analyzing and understanding the cultural, political and social dimension of context behaviors; how people and organizations make decisions and how they shape their environment. To do so I apply data collection, data analysis, and social simulation techniques, including participatory experiments, semantic concept mapping and multiagent modeling. I work both academically and provide commercial services at Scensei, an analytics enterprise. Our clients at Scensei use our services to improve their own analytics and to make more effective and sustainable decisions in complex adaptive environments.

I am an External Affiliate at The School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, both a George Mason University.
