Research Interests

The architecture of complex systems integration and organizational structures
Game theoretic model architectures; game theory principles to collaborative literacy and learning
Strategic leadership and communities of practice; effective combining of academia and industry
Ecological analysis, building technologies, intelligent building strategies, double envelope Clean environments_environments where challenge tested protocols for containment are desired (food production, water systems)
Bio- surety environments, public health, pain management and therapeutic environments

Synergistic Activities

Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics (CIDD) considering disease spread at a micro and macro scale. Co-founder: $450K Co-founded with Dr. Peter Hudson and Dr. Ottar Bjornstad, established to position the Pennsylvania State University as a world leader in the Dynamics of Infectious Diseases through the development of an interdisciplinary and inter-institutional center on disease dynamics. As an established center of excellence in the research and education of the dynamics of infectious diseases, CIDD serves the community by providing insights into the control and prevention of infectious diseases that impact humans, livestock and wildlife. The center encompasses a range of disciplines that range from cell biology, immunology, and virology through to transportation, population demography, environmental ecology, biophysics, engineering and game theoretic strategic modeling for disease spread. A truly interdisciplinary grouping that provides expertise on pressing disease issues such as disease emergence, bio- and agro-terrorism and means of predicting and proactively controlling outbreaks.
Interdisciplinary Research team assembled to design a knowledge aggregation and inference system for food production environments employing bio- sensor and redundant technology, wireless and reconnaissance intelligence and search technologies. Project became central to a proposal to Department of Homeland Security Proposal for a Center of Excellence in Food Safety. (Team comprised of D. Lindberg, C. Grimes, L. Giles, C. Cutter, M. Pishko).
Interdisciplinary Research team assembled to develop a generic template modeling transmitted diseases of veterinary and zoonotic concern using game theoretic strategic reasoning which become computer simulations to assist in mitigation reasoning, response and recovery policy (vaccination, depopulation, quarantine) determining. Project became part of a subcontract proposal with University of Pennsylvania to Department of Homeland Security Proposal for a Center of Excellence in Foreign Animal Diseases. (Team comprised of G. Smith, H. Aceto, C. Rorres, D. Lindberg, P. Hudson).
Research project with Mieczyslaw M. Kokar, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University to formalize decision fusion system using advances in category theory for situation awareness strategic programming. Disease spread modeling work with the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics provides domain (situation) for project.
Interdisciplinary Research team assembled to establish methods, metrics and tools to design, construct, and commission environmentally optimized buildings. (Team comprised of J. Freihaut, D. Lindberg, M. Moeck, D. Riley, G. Dickie).
Appointed to Academic Leadership Program, Committee for Institutional Cooperation, by Pennsylvania State University: Work to determine academic and strategic direction of the Big Ten Universities as a result of research work to bridge academia and industry.
Faculty mentor providing a program for The Pennsylvania Governor’s School sponsored by the School of Information Sciences and Technology. Program introduces game theory and strategic reasoning to juniors in high school for game development and application to learning and literacy for digital media and virtual environments. Program has been requested by participating students to become an Honors course developed by the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State for Fall, 2004 titled, “Model Architectures, Reasoning Tools and Game Theory.”
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church: Capital Campaign & Property Acquisition, Chair; $1.5M.Project
Project Architect for over 45 constructed building projects with gross budgets of $1-6M; over 30 with gross budgets under $1M. Six projects resulted in American Institute of Architects National Honor Awards. Six projects resulted in American Institute of Architects Component (State) Design Awards.
Developed and taught a course bridging Academia and Industry as a result of being Awarded a University Professorship (Lifetime Distinction) for teaching excellence by Liberal Education Council, University of Utah.
