Speaking
Webinars, conference talks, and conversations on agents, scientific search, and AI for research.
AI Engineer World's Fair · Jul 2026 · San Francisco, CA
As AI agents become both builders and buyers of software, developer advocacy is changing from human-only community education into agent-facing product design, evaluation, and go-to-market infrastructure. This talk explores what replaces traditional DevRel when your next user might be an agent.
Sourcegraph Webinar · Jun 2026
A webinar on building a software factory with AI agents, how teams compose agents into reliable, repeatable engineering workflows.
MLOps Community · Research Copilot Workshop · Apr 2026 · Boston Marriott Peabody, Peabody, MA
An invited talk on treating scientific literature as the system it already is — data, methods, results, code, and claims — so agents can traverse the connections we usually leave to serendipity. Covers hybrid retrieval (vector search plus knowledge graphs), MCP tool design for agent navigation, and a working prototype over 32M+ NASA ADS/SciX papers, with a live demo.
Sourcegraph · Oct 2025
A demo of a coding agent working through a realistic enterprise software-engineering task.
AIAA Space Resources Webinar · Jun 2025
A webinar on extending NASA's Astrophysics Data System into the Science Explorer (SciX), spanning all of NASA's Science Mission Directorate divisions.
Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian · Oct 2024
An invited colloquium on what JWST spectroscopy reveals about asteroids — including water and hydroxyl on (16) Psyche and links between the Polana family and near-Earth asteroids.
OpenPlanetary (OP Lunch Talk · Aug 2024
An OpenPlanetary lunch talk on making Earth and space science more discoverable through the NASA Science Explorer (SciX).
Science Explorer (SciX) · Aug 2024
A talk on how the NASA Science Explorer (SciX) connects research communities and accelerates discovery across NASA's science divisions.
Science Explorer (SciX) · Jun 2024
An interview on planetary science, JWST asteroid observations, and the work of expanding the NASA Science Explorer to all of NASA's science divisions.
Science Explorer (SciX) · May 2024
An introduction and quick-start tour of the NASA Science Explorer (SciX) portal.
MEPAG 2024 · Apr 2024
An invited talk introducing the NASA Science Explorer (SciX) to the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group — expanding NASA's Astrophysics Data System into a cross-divisional discovery tool.
Lunar Surface Science Workshop (LSSW) · Aug 2021
A poster presentation modeling how dust accumulates on and is lost from spacecraft surfaces over a mission — relevant to lunar dust mitigation for Artemis surface operations.
Astronomy on Tap SATX · Feb 2021 · Scobee Education Center, San Antonio
A public Astronomy on Tap talk on regolith and granular-material behavior in microgravity.
