My interests lie in the general area of history and politics of information
infrastructures, especially computer networks and global monitoring systems. My most
recent work addresses the history and reliability of the global weather and climate data
network. I am currently leading a three-year ethnographic and historical study of new cyberinfrastructures for the
sciences.
