Brief Bio
I am professor and chair of the Computer Science Department at Union College.Before coming to Union, I was on the faculty at Hofstra University. During my graduate studies I also taught at Pratt Institute, Rutgers University, Mount Holyoke College, and Polytechnic University. I received my Masters degree from New York University and my Ph.D. from Rutgers University.
Research Overview
My research interests are primarily in- software testing, particularly applied to various kinds of artificial intelligence and language processing systems,
- computer science education, particularly new curricula that will engage an increasingly diverse group of students in CS
Teaching
In spring 2009, I am team-teaching a Scholars Research Seminar entitled "Identity and Technology in a Media Saturated World"I've also lately become very interested in issues of identity and technology, and what the Net Generation is really all about. I will be teaching course on this in Spring 2009.
Department
The CS department at Union has created a distinctive curriculum which makes exposure to computing possible for students from across the entire campus. We offer five theme-based introductory courses and welcome CS majors and minors, as well as students from other fields who are interested in enhancing their studies with computation.For more information, including our programs with other departments, check the Department and For Students links, as well as the Department Home Page.
