I am a Computational Social Scientist at the Naval Postgraduate School's Department of Defense Analysis.
Much of my professional experience has been focused on exploring the often emergent behavior of self-organizing self-adaptive multi-agent systems operating in dynamic environments.
Multi-agent modeling and simulation plays a significant role in this kind of research and I have acquired significant experience in the challenges inherent in this domain.
My current research efforts are focused on understanding the evolving influence of media on social stability.
Specialties: Cognitive and Social Science, Agent Based Modeling and Simulation, Complex Adaptive Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Operations Analysis
Principal Research Scientist
Design and develop innovative software tools that support architects, engineers, analysts and decisions makers in doing their job more effectively. Competencies include: complexity science, modeling/simulation, artificial intelligence, cognitive/social science, computer science, operations analysis and team management.
CEO
A small business focused on supporting CRAD initiatives from defense related research organizations such as DARPA.
Research Professor
Working within the MOVES Institute I do basic and applied research using multi-agent computational modeling and simulation techniques to enhance our understanding of the behavior of human, social and cultural systems.

This chapter describes a fundamental challenge often faced by donor agents when they attempt to provide support to a failing or failed ‘host nation’ during its attempt to recover autonomous operations. That challenge is fundamentally defined by the complex relationship between the operations that are conducted in support of the host nation recovery process and the emergence of that nation’s innate capacity to resiliently absorb and/or exploit unanticipated challenges and novel opportunities. The role of complex adaptive systems (CAS) modeling in understanding and anticipating the influence of such operations on the emergence of this resiliency is discussed and illustrated with key components of a foundational modeling architecture.
