Speaker Details
Deb Agarwal is Advanced Computing for Science Department Head and the Data Intensive Systems Group Lead at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. As a member of the Berkeley Water Center collaboration between University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Dr. Agarwal leads a team developing data server infrastructure to significantly enhance data browsing and analysis capabilities and enable eco-science synthesis at the watershed-scale to understand hydrologic and conservation questions and at the global-scale to understand carbon flux. Dr. Agarwal’s research focuses on scientific tools that enable sharing of scientific experiments, advanced networking infrastructure to support sharing of scientific data, and data analysis support infrastructure for eco-science. Dr. Agarwal holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of California, Santa Barbara and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University.
William Michener is professor and director of e-Science Initiatives for University Libraries at the University of New Mexico. He has authored four books related to ecological informatics and more than 70 journal articles and book chapters. He is a Certified Senior Ecologist and serves as editor of Ecological Archives and associate editor of the International Journal of Ecological Informatics. He has directed several large interdisciplinary research programs including the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Biocomplexity Program, the Development Program for the U.S. Long-Term Ecological Research Network, and numerous cyberinfrastructure research and development projects. His current efforts focus on developing information technologies for the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences through DataONE—a large, multi-institutional, international research project funded by NSF.
