About

Jason "Jake" Hawes is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wyoming School of Computing and Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources. Jake is an interdisciplinary scholar of the environment, exploring the intersection of computing with social-environmental systems science. At this intersection, his lab employs mixed methods to explore more robust modeling and planning for food-energy-water systems, infrastructure and institutions, and natural resource-dependent local economies. Prior to arriving at Wyoming, Jake worked with the Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience division at Idaho National Laboratory, where he retains a joint appointment. Jake's interdisciplinary training included a BS in Environmental and Ecological Engineering and an MS in Natural Resources Social Science, both at Purdue University, before his PhD in Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan.
