SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES
- Faculty participant – Ecosystem Informatics IGERT to integrate graduate research in bioengineering, computer science, fisheries and wildlife, forest science, geosciences, and mathematics. I am currently advising one Ph.D. student in Water Resources Engineering through this program.
- As a member of the MONET network of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, I have been awarded travel scholarships to give presentation and attended workshops in Germany and Greece, continuing those international collaborations with ecologists and computer scientists through publication and proposal developments.
- Since arriving in Corvallis three months ago, I have become actively involved with watershed education in the area by giving lectures to public groups, leading tours of local rivers, and serving on the Steering Committee for the Long Tom Watershed Council.
- 8 talks at international conferences since 2003, including Greece, Germany, Canada, and China
