I am an independent researcher with a two decades of experience leading teams and companies in research involving virtual worlds (Contact Consortium, Avatars) and 3D mission simulation (DigitalSpace working with NASA). In 2007 I initiated a global effort to build an open platform, the EvoGrid to allow origin of life researchers to run distributed chemical simulation experiments. All of my projects are described at:
