Allen Lee

I provide technical vision, direction, and support to a variety of computationally assisted research initiatives at the Center for Behavior, Institutions, and the Environment and the School of Complex Adaptive Systems. At ASU I've embedded in small to large interdisciplinary research teams as an individual contributor and technical lead running small (2-6) teams of staff and student developers. During this time I've served as senior personnel or co-PI on over $8m in funding from the US National Science Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Mellon Foundation, building proof-of-concept prototypes for researchers, replicable production-grade computational tools, and robust and secure science gateways and cyberinfrastructure to support open and FAIR computational science.

Past and current projects include:

• CoMSES Net, the Network for Computational Modeling for Social and Ecological Sciences, a science gateway to help researchers develop, document, publish, and share FAIR computational models that explore the complex dynamics of social and ecological systems
• the Open Modeling Foundation, an alliance of modeling organizations that coordinates and administers a common, community developed body of standards and best practices among diverse communities of modeling scientists.
• the Port of Mars, a computational social science experiment sponsored by the National Science Foundation and ASU's Interplanetary Initiative 
• Synthesizing Knowledge of Past Environments (SKOPE), a National Science Foundation-funded online resource that enables users to easily discover, explore, visualize, and synthesize knowledge of environments in the recent or remote past
• the Digital Archaeological Record, a trusted digital repository for archaeological data
• the Virtual Commons, a collection of open source software for collective action experiments
• the Social Ecological Systems Library, a collection of descriptions of social-ecological systems (SES)  and coupled infrastructure systems (CIS) from around the world.
