Bio
I am the Associate Director of the S4 Initiative at Brown University where I also teach classes on spatial analysis and GISc. I recently completed a National Science Foundation IGERT Fellowship in Geographic Information Science at the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis in the Geography Department at State University of New York at Buffalo. From 1999-2006 I was at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, first as a masters student and later as an Adjunct Assistant Professor and Adjunct Associate Research Scientist. Once upon a time I was the owner of an antiquarian bookshop in the Flatiron Building in New York City. I’m also a dad, a fisherman, a bird-watcher, and a bike commuter.
