About

I am a software engineer at the Climate & Global Dynamics (CGD) Laboratory of NCAR. I received my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from North Carolina State University under the direction of Dr. John Baugh. At NCAR, I lead the software engineering efforts to develop, maintain, and evaluate the ocean model components of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), a state-of-the-art climate model. I also serve as the CESM Ocean Modeling Working Group software liaison. My areas of interest include ocean modeling, formal methods, and high-performance computing.

As a scientific software developer, I have a strong passion to devise and apply formal methods, i.e., mathematically rigorous techniques for the specification and verification of software, as reflected in my publication record, talks, and program committee services.
