Profile Image of Ken Ferschweiler

Ken was a Senior Software Architect and Modeler at Conservation Biology Institute. His work focused primarily on the climate change model, MC1. Ken is now retired and an associate at CBI.

Ken Ferschweiler has 30 years of experience in computer science, and in 2010 he jumped at the opportunity to join CBI’s climate change research group and use that experience in addressing ecological modeling problems. Ken has worked in the US and in Europe in areas ranging from artificial intelligence to massively parallel computing, but has been happiest when using computers to help scientists solve scientific problems.
