Biography
Mike Tschudi performs geographic information systems (GIS) analyses and develops GIS and water information software for DCDC and the Global Institute of Sustainability. He is one of the chief developers of WaterSim, a complex integrative model designed to anticipate the effects of climate conditions, rapid growth and policy decisions on future water supply and demand conditions in Phoenix. He earned his Master's degree in GIS and his Master of Science degree in Computer Science at ASU; he also earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering from the City University of New York. Prior to working for ASU, Tschudi developed 2D and 3D mapping software for Calma, Formtek, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and GARMIN. He has also developed voice-messaging software for Inter-Tel and medical records database software for MediServe.
