Senior Staff Technical Staff Trainees Former Regional Board Science Board

António Baptista, Ph.D.
Professor
CCALMR-EBS-CSE António is the scientific director of CORIE, coordinating the design, implementation, maintenance and application of this environmental observation and forecasting system (EOFS).
António's research interests are on environmental information systems: from their development and quality control, to their use in objective understanding of complex ecosystems, and their role in sustainable development. His work is cross-disciplinary, rooted on over twenty years of experience in hydrodynamic modeling, but spanning since 1996 the scope of technologies and processes associated with EOFS. He has investigated estuaries and coastal systems worldwide, with focus over the last decade on the Pacific Northwest and the Columbia River.

Arun Chawla, Ph.D.
Associate Research Scientist
CCALMR-EBS Arun is developing a second-generation CORIE forecast machinery for 3D baroclinic circulation, and is investigating model quality control through physically and numerically based metrics of uncertainty.
Arun's research interests are at the intersection of modeling with coastal engineering and with process-based oceanography...

Wu-Chang Feng, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
CSE Wu-Chang is investigating quality-scalable information flow systems for environmental obeservation and forecasting, using CORIE as a prototype.
Wu-Chang's research interests include Internet congestion control and queue management, wireless networking, scalable Internet systems, and programmable network infrastructure.

Wu-Chi Feng, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
CSE Wu-Chi is investigating quality-scalable information flow systems for environmental obeservation and forecasting, using CORIE as a prototype.
Wu-Chi's research interests include multimedia networking and wireless networking.

Todd Leen, Ph.D.
Professor
CSE Todd is investigating aspects of signal processing, machine learning, and stochastic forecasting in environmental observation and forecasting, using CORIE as a prototype.

David Maier, Ph.D.
Professor
CSE Dave is investigating data product specification and generation in the context of CORIE environmental observation and forecasting system.
He has over 25 years of research and development experience in database management and information systems, with particular emphases on query languages, query processing, object-oriented models, net data management and database support for scientific computing. He has also published in the areas of logic programming, theoretical computer science, multimedia, artificial intelligence, and digital libraries.

Cole McCandlish
Research Associate
CCALMR-EBS Cole leads the CORIE systems support operation, supporting computational infrastructure and data processing.

Jon Walpole, Ph.D.
Professor
CSE Jon is investigating quality-scalable information flow systems for environmental obeservation and forecasting, using CORIE as a prototype.
Jonathan Walpole's research interests are in the general area of operating systems, distributed computing and networking. Within this general area he specializes in operating system, network and middleware support for streaming applications, including adaptive resource management and quality of service control. He is also interested in cluster-based parallel computing, distributed operating systems, and large-scale storage systems. As CORIE evolves into a large-scale system it presents research challenges in many of these area. Jonathan is involved in the design of a next-generation scalable and evolvable CORIE system.

Michael Wilkin
Research Associate
CCALMR-EBS Michael leads the CORIE field station at MERTS, Astoria and is responsible for the design, deployment, maintenance and quality control of the sensors of the CORIE observation network.
Michael has over ten years experience in multiple aspects of field oceanography and electronics, including: design and deployment and construction of ocean monitoring buoys and their associated sub-systems; design and construction of environmental sensors; integration of custom manufactured and COTS instruments into real-time coastal oceanographic monitoring systems; oceanographic and hydrographic vessel base surveys; and process oriented studies and experiments in the coastal zone.

Ethan VanMatre
Systems Administrator
CCALMR-EBS Ethan leads CORIE systems support operation, supporting computational infrastructure and hardware and software parallelization efforts.

Yinglong (Joseph) Zhang, Ph.D.
Associate Research Scientist
CCALMR-EBS Joseph is developing and validating ELCIRC, the primary numerical model for CORIE simulations of 3D baroclinic circulation.
Joseph's research interests are in numerical methods, theoretical and computational fluid mechanics, nonlinear wave mechanics, 3D bubble dynamics, and free-surface flows.

Mike Zulauf, Ph.D.
Associate Research Scientist
CCALMR-EBS Mike is developing the air-water exchange component of the CORIE modeling system, including the compilation of a comprehensive set of atmospheric forcings.
