John Leeman joined the Unidata Program Center software
development team on January 30th, 2017. John obtained
bachelor's degrees in meteorology and geophysics from the
University of Oklahoma in 2012, and a PhD in geoscience from
Penn State in 2017. He has worked in research fields
ranging from gas hydrate thermodynamics to SODAR and
boundary layer instrumentation, and did his doctoral work in
earthquake physics. John's software development experience
includes work on the seafloor process simulator at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory and telemetry analysis tools for
NASA's Morpheus lunar lander project. The common thread
amongst all of these projects was “the development of new
tools and software to attack previously intractable
problems.”
As a researcher himself, John brings first-hand knowledge of how scientists
want to interact with their research tools to Unidata.
He joined the Unidata Program Center because, he says, “making well tested and reliable
tools with which to conduct reproducible science is probably the
largest challenge and most needed area of innovation in
research today.”
