I spent several years at UCSB immersed as a PhD student focusing on the role of geography in social networks as well as how they integrate with data and transportation networks. During my time at UCSB, I interned at Google in Mountain View, California, and worked on the Google Earth product and a real-time hurricanes data layer.
I also held an honorary appointment at the University of Melbourne, Australia and was a Jack & Laura Dangermond fellow in addition to receiving the University of California's President's fellowship. After graduating, I was a professor in Spain at Universitat Jaume, I worked with the international Master's program in Geospatial Technologies between Germany, Portugal, and Spain. There I developed fluency in the Spanish language and taught courses in English and Spanish to students from over 15 different countries. I'm currently a faculty member at the University of Southern California. I recently developed our first Mobile GIS development course and one of the first courses where students use Google and Esri ArcGIS Software Development Kits (SDKs) to create custom apps. My brother and I recently launched an app in order to provide inexpensive remote monitoring, data acquisition, sensor networks, and asset / vehicle tracking, all with commodity hardware like phones and tablets.
