I specialize at the boundary of seismology and computer science, developing community software to support seismic monitoring, research and education.

My main MATLAB community project is GISMO, which is an object-oriented seismic data analysis toolbox. It originated at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with Celso Reyes and Mike West. Celso developed the Waveform Suite. GISMO includes the Waveform Suite and a lot more.

I also program in Python, Perl, PhP, C, C++. I try to avoid Fortran as much as possible.

My background is working at volcano and seismological observatories, but presently I am a university professor and enjoying teaching the next generation of geophysicists.
