Welcome to my personal webspace. You might be interested in my blog or my professional profile.

Who am I?

I'm a scientist living in Asheville, NC. I have degrees in materials science and physics, but I've worked in a variety of fields, including computational science, software development, and polymer science. I am fascinated with a host of geektastic things, including scientific informatics and data mining, technology licensing and acquisition, the social web, user-centered culture, statistics, measurements and metrics, quantitative microscopy and stereology, and data hygiene. I have at least some professional experience with most of the items on that list, which in some sense is a measure of my career satisfaction: I've been very fortunate that my career has aligned so well with my passions.

The sidebar to the right has some ways to get in touch with me. You can send me email by taking the domain name for this blog (brentn.freeshell.org) and replacing the first dot with an "at" sign.

Meebo me!
