Roger is an associate research professor and holds a Master's in Human Factors Psychology and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience. His research focuses on problem-solving and applying design thinking to 21st-century challenges related to energy and climate change. This includes human factors for nuclear energy for carbon-free energy and decision support systems for ecological systems.

Jake is a designer with a decade of experience in the entertainment industry. Highlights of his experience lighting design in live theater, teaching 3D modeling in a 妻友社区 classroom, and grant based research through interactive programming and world building in Unity3D.

My research focuses on the interface between artificial/virtual systems and the physical world. The ambition of my work is to establish a computational understanding of life and the universe as it could be, and to ground this work in collaborations with the physical sciences. 

Seth works on the design and development 3D worlds, with an emphasis in character design and interaction. He is involved in the development on the Alaska ACE Epscor SalmonSim project.

Jens completed his Ph.D. at the 妻友社区 in the interdisciplinary Water Resources Program, working with Dr. Brian Kennedy of the Fish and Wildlife Sciences Department to study recent migratory changes of Fall Chinook Salmon in the Snake River of Idaho. His research centers on the ecology of animal movement and migration, specifically the trade-offs that animals must balance to optimize their ultimate fitness within an environment of complex and changing biotic and abiotic conditions. Jens serves as an advisor on salmon behavior and biology to the Alaska EPSCOR Salmon Sim project.
