My CV is available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.

I joined RIT's Department of Computer Science in September, 2000.  Prior to that, I spent four years with the Eastman Kodak Company.  During my first three years at Kodak I worked in the Human Factors Laboratory.  My last year at Kodak I spent developing expert systems for the Estar Roll-Coating Division.  While working at Kodak I was also an Adjunct Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Rochester.   Before joining Eastman Kodak I spent a year working at Honeywell Labs (formerly the Honeywell Technology Center) in what was then the User Centered Design Group.  

I attended the University of Pennsylvania from 1990 to 1995.  I earned M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the Computer and Information Sciences Department in the School of Engineering.   I was a member of the GRASP Laboratory .  My master's thesis was: Robust Hypothesis Testing and Statistical Color Classification. My advisor was Dr. Max Mintz.  I used  Baysian statistics to attempt to classify the colors of real objects to the Munsell Color Chart.  My PhD thesis was part of the Multiagents Project.  The thesis title was: Human Management of a Hierarchical System for the Control of Multiple Mobile Robots.  My advisor was Richard (Lou) Paul

While attending Penn, I also worked on the Human Genome Project with the late G. Christian Overton in the Center for Bioinformatics.  

I attended Siena College and earned degrees in Computer Science and Accounting.  During my last two years at Siena, I worked as an accountant for what was Allied-Signal Bendix Friction Materials Division.
