My role at SoMAS is to provide Information Technology support to faculty, staff and
students. This support ranges from maintaining and improving SoMAS-related websites,
including the school’s homepage, and webpages for institutes and research groups (Great South Bay Ecosystem) to troubleshooting computer issues and deploying technological solutions. A complete
list of SoMAS-related websites is available here. As needed, I provide advice to administration, faculty and staff with regard to
major redesigns, including the encouragement of social media usage among SoMAS, students,
alumni and the community.
In close coordination with SoMAS colleagues, I help maintain feeds of real-time weather
and oceanographic data available on the web.
I also maintain the social media presence for The School of Marine and Atmospheric
Sciences. Connect with SoMAS on the following social media channels:
Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Instagram | LinkedIn
Follow the The R/V Seawolf on Facebook!
Through efforts to preserve the history of SoMAS, I have become an unofficial historian.
This has provided opportunities to digitize and in some cases remaster some previous
works, like The Great Garbage Chase. It has also allowed me opportunities to mentor student filmmakers, like Megan Gallagher
and Anne Smith, who created the documentary about the work of Lee Koppelman.
IT Partner
As an IT Partner, I coordinate with the Division of Information Technology on main campus as the SoMAS representative on various university committees and working
groups concerned with computing policy, operations and networking for the campus as
a whole. I work with these and other University departments as needed for project
implementations and other community-related needs.
