Under the leadership of Warren Washington of NCAR, he participated in the development of the DOE Parallel Climate Model using the Los Alamos Parallel Ocean Program and a parallel sea-ice model from the Naval Postgraduate School. That climate model has been ported to numerous parallel architectures and used as a workhorse climate model in numerous scientific applications.

A key conclusion from this research is that translating ideas into competitive advantage requires a distinct and nuanced set of resources and strategies. Effective management of innovation therefore requires careful attention to the firm's internal ability to develop truly distinct technologies and to subtle elements of the firm's external development and commercialization environment.

Before the current study on the future of supercomputing, she completed several projects, including a study on critical information infrastructure protection and the law, a study that outlined a research agenda at the intersection of geospatial information and computer science, and a joint study with the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources and the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate on public-private partnerships in the provision of weather and climate services. She also has been involved with a study on telecommunications research and development and a congressionally mandated study on Internet searching and the domain name system.
