He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Utah in Rhetoric and Writing Studies and an M.A. in English from Montana State University. His research focuses on land management policy in two discrete areas. The first relates to civil infrastructure projects and landscape-scale impacts on habitat, community resilience, and long- term land use planning; the second involves the utilization, conservation, and management of big game wildlife resources. For the past five years he has led various transdisciplinary teaching and research projects examining land and wildlife resource management conflicts vis-`a-vis

The CUTE labs cover four major areas: the platform exploration labs, the big data labs, the cloud economics labs, and the security and privacy labs. They are designed to use publicly available free cloud resources and open source software with no spe- cial requirement on computing infrastructures, so that they can be easily adopted and adapted at low cost. Currently, we have developed thirteen labs, among which eleven have been deployed during 2009-2015 and six have been evaluated during 2014-2015. The preliminary results show that these
