My current research focuses on knowledge engineering and data management for enterprise systems. Data management, data governance, and content management, when done properly, produce rich metadata and documentation collections. My focus is on the intersection of these data domains and knowledge management practices, advancing an understanding of how to define consistent and rigorous knowledge governance across data systems.
My long-term research project is the development of foundational knowledge for the understanding of spaces created by people and technology. This research has historically overlapped two broad fields within geography: human geography and GIS. More recently, I have leveraged machine learning and scalable compute systems for highly complex data analysis. A great amount of my initial research is inspired by works on the production of space, political economy, financial economics, code/space, network society, actor network theory, and digital geography. I also look to the work currently being done in the computer sciences, data sciences, and mathematical schools of thought.
I am indebted to the many researchers that have defined and forwarded these fields for us all.
A significant portion of my current academic work is focused on the the building of data systems that leverage modeled schemata and information context for the construction of domain knowledge graphs and decision systems. My concentration is on:
I am engaged in reshaping the dialogue towards formalized cyber geographic studies as part of my long-term professional and academic goals. My concentration is on:
Exploring and interacting with the electromagnetic spectrum that surrounds us has been a hobby of mine since I was a kid. I have developed educational materials to teach people about these concepts and ideas as a means to maintain, develop, and forward my knowledge. My concentration is on:
