From philosophy to education to practice, I am passionate about creating an engineering profession that embeds the values of peace, social justice, and ecological holism at the very heart of engineering thinking.  Engineers have and will continue to be integral in the design and development of technologies that shape human relationship to the Earth.  Thus, to infuse engineers with ideals of justice, with practical tools to understand the impact of their work on people and the Earth, and with the ability to work intimately with those who have different kinds of knowledge and experiences, is to change the world.  

I have a bunch of interests, like in renewable energy system design; climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience; community-based engineering; pro-bono science and engineering; peace; space systems; consumption, trash, and materialism; and applying open innovation tools to help mobilize people to addressing big problems.

I ask three questions: Why are we engineers?  Who do we work for?  What is the full measure of our moral and social responsibility?
