Software Developer

I grew up on Cape Cod and join the EOL Informatics Group as a software developer. My experience is in database and web application development.
I will help ensure that the foundations of the Encyclopedia of Life are as solid as possible while allowing flexibility in the future. I have followed this important project for some time and am thrilled to be contributing to its success. It has the potential to be a great resource for learning about and advancing the conservation of the myriad species on earth.

Interesting, inspiring, insightful, impactful, fun and more such words.

Working with the Encyclopedia of Life is the realization a long-time dream for me. I love being at a university, advancing research. The Encyclopedia’s vision to synthesize all information about life present on Earth… that makes it something really essential for me. I’m joining the team with over ten years of experience developing a variety of applications. What really drives me is turning abstract ideas into working products that people appreciate. There’s an abundance of ideas here, and I hope that we can produce some amazing tools to facilitate them…

Software Developer

I was born in Russia, and from my early school years I wanted to become a biologist and a wild life photographer. I happened to become both later. At some point I started to learn programming languages and after discovering Open Source movement I decided to make programming my profession. And I am now at EOL because here I can express my passion for wild life and passion for development Free Software at the same time!

Anne Thessen
Post-doctoral Investigator

I’m working on data mobilization for EOL and the International Census of Marine Microbes. Lots of biological data can be found on the printed page, which must be read to retrieve information. I’m trying to find ways to make this information easier to retrieve and use. Prior to joining the EOL team, I worked on Arctic primary production, toxin-producing diatoms and shellfish grazing.
