I am an adjunct associate professor in Computer Science at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. For the academic year of 2004-2005, we moved to Egypt where I was an assistant professor in Computer Science at The American University in Cairo. (Look here for pictures of our year's adventure in Cairo.) Prior to my career transition back to academics, I worked for twenty years in software research and development at Bell Laboratories, as well as several years of teaching programming and Unix courses to developers at a variety of companies. My academic degrees are in mathematics (BA, College of Wooster and PhD, University of Kansas) followed by computer science course work.
My current interests include programming languages, collaboration tools, VoiceXML applications and tools, and version management. Most recently I worked on the integation of SIP VoIP with presence awareness tools. Other projects at Bell Labs included Mawl - a web programming language, and software visualization. Mostly I just really like the challenge of making things work - applying my programming and system expertise to solve problems.
In summer of 1996, I moved to Eugene, Oregon and teleworked for Bell Labs full time over a five year period. Look here for a personal view of life in Eugene.
