Biographical Sketch
  Dr. Matt Rice is a Directorate of Central Intelligence Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis and Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara.  He studies geographic information systems, analysis and representation of spatial uncertainty, cartographic data security, and coupled auditory/cartographic display.  Dr. Rice's dissertation, Intellectual Property Control for Maps and Geographic Data, was completed under the direction of Dr. Michael Goodchild and accepted in 2005. While completing coursework and personal research for Ph.D., Matt held a research assistantship at the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis. During his tenure at NCGIA, he has managed the Learning Resource Archive for the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Sciences, and contributed to Project Varenius, NCGIA’s effort to advance geographic information science.  Matt is also an investigator with the multidisciplinary Haptic Soundscapes Project, which researches and develops tools for presenting spatial information to blind and sight-impaired individuals using auditory and force-feedback devices.  Before arriving at Santa Barbara in 1998, Matt attended Brigham Young University, where he completed his bachelor of science and master of science degrees (Geography - BS, Statistics - BS, and Music - BA, 1995; Geography - MS, 1998).  While at BYU, Matt was a presidential full-tuition scholar, a national merit finalist, and a multiple-year music performance award winner.  To apply his education in a practical framework, Matt accepted a graduate research assistantship at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and worked as a geographic information systems specialist between 1996 and 1998 (casual status 1998 - 2000).   While at LANL, Matt’s responsibilities included cartographic and geographic information systems support for geologic modeling and environmental remediation activities.
