My department has a few openings in informatics. Here is an old posting for statistics on informatics graphs; the posting is old but the topic content is still relevant for the current openings. Many of these positions amay involve working on the Network Grand Challenge LDRD project; I lead the "Forecasting" piece of this project.

I am currently doing technical work related to discrete math, informatics, and computational science. My recent projects include desiging a MANET protocol, an researching validation process guidelines of computer models of how humans think. My current projects include military logistics siumlation, computational topology, and "forecasting" (uncertainty, statistics, and graph algorithms) over large-scale informatics graphs.

Time will tell.

Biography:

I received a B.S in Applied Math, Engineering & Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988. I received an M.S. (1991) and Ph.D. (1993) in Applied Math from Cornell University. I worked the summer of 1991 at Xerox PARC. Since Oct 1992 I've been at Sandia National Laboratories. I researched triangular and tetrahedral meshing algorithms via a computational geometry approach from 1992-1993. I was part of the Cubit project, doing mesh generation R&D from 1993-2000, and project leadership from 2000-2002. I did things like researching algorithms and existence proofs for hexahedral meshes and optimization for assigning the right number of edges locally so the model can be meshed globally. I managed the Optimization and Uncertainty Estimation department from 2002-2007. I served in various capacities on various programs, including LDRD (internal research program) and NNSA's ASC program. I decided I missed building things and figuring things out for myself and moved on to technical work in 2007. Time will tell what I do now.
