Changrui Yuan
Computer Scientist with the Ecoinformatics and Wildlife Technology (ECOTECH) Branch in U.S. Geological Survey Fort Collins Science Center
Changrui works on Siren: The National Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) Information System, which is an online resource for invasive species information sharing and collaboration that serves as the information hub of the National EDRR Framework. Through collaborations with Federal, State, local, and academic partners, it seamlessly collates EDRR data and information products to create meaningful EDRR workflows and interactive tools for resource managers, researchers, and decision-makers.
Changrui also works on ScienceBase, which is a collaborative scientific data and information management platform used directly by science teams. It provides access to aggregated information derived from many data domains, including feeds from existing data systems, metadata catalogs, and scientists contributing new and original content. The architecture is designed to help science teams and data practitioners centralize their data and information resources to create a foundation needed for their work. ScienceBase, both original software and engineered components, is released as an open source project to promote involvement from the larger scientific programming community both inside and outside the USGS.
