HRC Biographical Sketch
Upon his graduation from The University of Iowa, earning a
B.S. with Honors in Computer Science, Mr. Jason Sperfslage joined the
Hydrologic Research Center (HRC) in June 1994, during its early
beginnings. Since that time, he has collaborated with Center
researchers and engineers to implement a variety of real-time
operational forecast systems now hosted in various countries and
regions throughout the world. Jason's primary contributions
to these implementations are operational system design, real-time data
acquisition and pre-processing, database and systems integration,
process control, graphical post-processing and system
automation. In 1999, HRC's Board of Directors awarded Jason
with the Hydrologic Research Center Certificate of Achievement in
recognition of outstanding service for HRC in the areas of software
implementation and training. Jason also serves as HRC's
Manager of Information Technology (IT), responsible for all systems-
and network-related planning, procurement, installation, administration
and maintenance. As opportunities arise, Jason also enjoys
expressing his skills with photography and graphic design in various
aspects of HRC's efforts, including web site development, holiday
greeting cards, conference posters, presentations and training
materials. Jason is a member of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer
Society as well as the Association of Computing Machinery
(ACM). He has also been listed in the International Who's Who
of Information Technology (1998) and has earned a Blue Star Achievement
Award through his personal and professional activities with Ebay
;). Most of all, Jason enjoys the mutual collaboration that
is required to implement basic research for public benefit, as well as
the dynamic challenges that are inherent to HRC's mission of technology
transfer. While relying on the research, development and
modeling expertise of HRC colleagues in that process, Jason adds a
unique blend of Computer Science and Software Engineering to the
Center's multi-disciplinary efforts. Hydrologic Research Center Tel: (858) 794 -2726
