I am a co-director and co-founder of the Collaborative Modeling Center (CMC) at Hampshire College located in the Cole Science Center. The CMC is a physical space and supportive community that focuses on interdisciplinary research and educational research containing mathematical, computational, visual, and/or physical models. Our goals are:
- To build a community of faculty, staff, and students from a range of disciplines all committed to providing an inclusive, dynamic, and creative space;
- To provide space and support to foster interdisciplinary research collaborations that involve mathematical, computational, visual, and physical models;
- To develop innovative science and modeling curricula;
- To increase the visibility and importance of quantitative skills.
