Academic History
| Graduate Research Assistant |
January 2010 to Present |
|
I am currently working on complex adaptive systems research. The research
group he is a member of is investigating simulating and modeling open source
innovation networks, such as SourceForge, to determine which parameters will
lead to the best and most productive network. I am also the lead developer
working towards developing a computational ethnography tool designed to
assist in this effort.

| Undergraduate Research Assistant |
November 2008 to December 2009 |
|
As an undergraduate, I developed an application in python to visualize social network graph
and calculate various graph metrics such as centrality and desity. This work was the preliminary
work which served as a prototype for the computational ethnography tool which is currently being designed.
