Knowledge Base
Two of my goals in life are to: (1) facilitate global interconnectedness of people, ideas, and disciplines, and (2) enable accelerated knowledge growth and scientific/technological advancement. Among other things, I’ve established my website in order to provide a simple framework through which I can begin to accomplish these goals. One core piece of this is the ability to understand, structure, and communicate many of the underlying concepts and themes. Therefore, I’ve begun building a concise knowledge base of these concepts and themes to support that framework of interconnectedness, learning, and advancement.

Algorithm Development - An algorithm is a well-defined set of instructions for completing one or more tasks(s). Algorithm development is the analysis of processes, dependencies, and conditions around such tasks and the subsequent design, creation, testing, integration, optimization, and refinement of an algorithm to complete such task(s) through systematic (usually technical and mathematical) means.
