Background
I currently work as Associate Dean of the
College of Science. I served as department chair of
Computer Science from 1997 to 2006. I started teaching at
Cal Poly Pomona in 1988. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from
Penn State in 1984, and worked as an Assistant Professor at the
University of Rochester from 1984 to 1988.
Office location
My office is located in the
College of Science Building 8, inside the Dean's office suite 8-3.
Academic interests
My Ph.D. research was in algorithm design, and tackled the problem of efficiently updating the solution to a combinatorial problem by saving critical information in data structures. I'm interested in emerging computer technologies, both hardware and software.
My teaching interests include discrete structures, programming, data structures, algorithms, language and complexity theory, parallel computing and numerical methods. I find that teaching the student seminar courses helps me keep up with emerging technologies and recent developments in the field.
