Research interests include software engineering principles as applied to modeling and simulation application development. This includes software or simulation frameworks to construct applications for both discrete-event and real-time, interactive applications. Within this domain, my research interest includes distributed simulations including both parallel and discrete-event simulation (PDES) techniques and geographically separated virtual environments.
Research interests also include the use of simulation as both an experimental apparatus and supporting infrastructure to augment testing.
