RESUME Francis C. Wimberly 140 Calle Ojo Feliz Santa Fe, NM 87505 Email: [email protected] Phone: 505 995-8715 Cell: 505 670-9918 Education: University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA Ph.D. Computer Science – 1978 Dissertation: Memory management for solution of linear systems arising in finite element substructuring. Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA M.S. Psychology - 1969 University of California, Riverside, CA M.A. Mathematics - 1966 University of California, Berkeley, CA A.B. Mathematics - 1965 Professional Experience: Redfish Group, Santa Fe, New Mexico Principal Scientist 8/2005 – present Worked with a group of consultants in the areas of simulation, agent-based modeling and visualization. Projects included wildfire modeling, evacuation planning, statistical causal reasoning for model validation. University of West Florida, Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Pensacola, Florida Research Scientist (full time) 4/2003 – 3/2005 Research Scientist (part time) 11/2001 – 3/2003 Implemented and tested algorithms for inferring genetic regulatory network structure from expression data. Developed simulation software (in Java) for generating realistic gene expression data. Participated in development and evaluation of software for statistical causal reasoning including Bayes networks and Structural Equation Models (SEMs). Implemented maximum likelihood methods for estimating SEMs and algorithms for discovering the causal structure of feedback models in addition to expectation maximization (EM) for estimating Bayes nets. 1 Investigated the question of applying the causal reasoning methods to analysis of wildfire data for risk assessment. BiosGroup, Inc, Santa Fe, New Mexico Senior Scientist 6/2000 – 8/2001 Senior Software Developer 12/1998 - 5/2000 Developed agent-based models of consumer behavior, traffic, energy contract selection, etc. and implemented them in Java. Implemented a Bayes network model and visualization for interacting economic risks. Investigated the question of using causal reasoning (see following item) to infer the structure of genetic regulatory networks. Coordinated a scientific seminar series with emphasis on familiarizing Bios personnel with methods of operations research. Led the modeling and data analysis team. Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Philosophy, Pittsburgh, PA Principal Project Scientist and Director of Computing 8/1997 – 12/1998 Senior Project Scientist 7/1996 – 8/1997 Developed software in Java and C++ in two application areas: statistical models for inferring causal relationships; and teaching symbolic logic. In each case it was necessary to design class structures for representing complex mathematical systems and to design user interfaces for entering and interacting with the data. Served during the 1996-97 academic year as adjunct associate professor of information systems in the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management. Taught a project to course in providing access geographic data and GIS tools via the World Wide Web and a course in operations research. Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA Scientific Databases Coordinator 6/1995 – 6/1996 Scientific Applications Coordinator 8/1990 – 5/1995 Senior Computer Scientist 2/1990 - 7/1990 Coordinated the activities of a group of Ph.D. level computational scientists working in the areas of quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, gene sequence analysis, finite element analysis and related areas. These activities involved development, acquisition, installation, evaluation and maintenance of an extensive library of applications software which was made available to the Center's research users on vector and massively parallel supercomputers from Cray Research (C90,T3D), Thinking Machines (CM-2, CM-5) as well as on workstation clusters (DECStation 5000 and DEC Alpha). 2 Coordinated the porting of a number of third party applications packages to the Cray T3D MPP in a collaborative project with Cray Research. Wrote proposals for funding of research projects and workshops. Coordinated internal review of proposals for access to the Center's facilities. Evaluated object-oriented database systems for medical image collections. Experimented with UniSQL, web browsers and Java for enabling access to such image databases. Self-employed Consultant 6/1989 - 1/1990 Developed line recognition software (in C) for raster images of engineering drawings; Developed a proposal for neural network approaches to the analysis of well logs. This work was done for Visual Understanding Systems, Inc. in Pittsburgh and involved implementing the system on Sun Workstations. Carnegie Mellon University, Heinz School of Public Policy and Management, Pittsburgh, PA Assistant Professor of Information Systems 7/1985 -6/1989 Participated in design and implementation of masters and doctoral programs in Management Information Systems. Taught courses in artificial intelligence (including Lisp programming), data communications and Pascal programming as well as project courses. Administered the School's computing activities as chairman of the Computer Policy Committee and by managing staff activities. Pursued research interests in spatial modeling and geographic information systems, including development of simulation software. Senior Research Scientist 5/1984 - 6/1985 Served as Adjunct Associate Professor of Management Information Systems and Director of Computing Services. Was responsible for coordination of all computing activities in the School including implementation of a local area network of personal computers; connecting the LAN to the larger University network; selection and acquisition of software and hardware for instructional and research purposes of the School. Taught courses in Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems. Carnegie Mellon University, Robotics Institute, Pittsburgh, PA Research Associate and Project Leader 7/1980 -5/1984 Charter member of the Robotics Institute Faculty Coordinated factory automation project emphasizing sensor networks and computer-vision inspection. 3 Did research in table based methods for control of walking machines, including implementation in simulation software. Did research in expert systems for planning and scheduling. Coordinated documentation planning and user training in the Spice scientific workstation project. Participated in syllabus design and Ph.D. qualifying examination development as a member of the Programming Systems Faculty of the Computer Science Department. Taught graduate course in digital signal processing. 1965-1979: Various academic and industrial positions at Westinghouse, General Motors, Bell Labs and the University of Pittsburgh.
