Murillo matters for bridging social anthropology with technical practice and data-protection concerns. His documented fields—anthropology, social anthropology, digital technology, and data protection—position him at the intersection of qualitative social inquiry and the technical infrastructure that generates and protects data. The development of HOBO-request demonstrates an applied contribution: producing software tied to environmental or sensor data workflows (HOBO sensors). His academic appointments at the University of Virginia (since May 2019) and the University of Notre Dame (since January 2022) situate him within institutions that train students and produce scholarship, enabling him to influence research agendas and pedagogical practices. His presence on scholarly indexing (Google Scholar ID) and code-hosting platforms (GitLab username unixjazz) shows a dual footprint in both academic publication and open-source/software communities. Without contributors who straddle these domains, interdisciplinary questions about how digital tools and data protection shape social life would have fewer practitioner-scholars informing both research and tool-building. ## Notable For - Creator/developer of HOBO-request, software for HOBO sensors. - Appointed at the University of Virginia beginning 2019-05-01. - Appointed at the University of Notre Dame beginning 2022-01-01. - Affiliated with SEEKCommons. - Scholarly profile under Google Scholar author ID ExYBr24AAAAJ and GitLab username "unixjazz." ## Body ### Identity and roles - Name variants include L F R Murillo, L.
