Current Activities:
● Center for Advanced Research Computing: High performance computing research support for a wide array of projects, from COVID modelling to Quantum Algorithms and Neuroimaging.My work focusses on distributed complex adaptive systems, including biological processes such as the immune system, social insect foraging, and agnostic biosignatues; distributed high performance computing; and the design of distributed search algorithms for teams of robots (NASA ChiliHouse, NASA Swarmathon, and NSF NRI VolCAN).
Algorithms control an increasing portion of our daily lives. Ensuring that those algorithms are fair is a difficult but critical task. We recently challenged proposed changes to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) proposal to dramatically revise rules around responsibility for algorithmic fairness in the Fair Housing Act (Comment on Regulations, Forbes article).

My wife, Suzanne, and I have four boys: Henry, Leo, Owen, and Tristan. We live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. I was born and raised in Shrewsbury, UK, but have lived in Mount Airy, North Carolina and Albuquerque, New Mexico for most of my life. I have been interested in computers since playing with a Commodore 64 when I was ten years old.
Go Figure Software is my contracting company. Through Go Figure Software I have provided programming services to scientists at the UNM Physics Department and Los Alamos National Labs.
