Brief Biography
Since joining Siena, I have focused on improving Computer Science & Information Systems education through the use of web technology. I do research in Applied Machine Learning and algorithm design for intractable problems. Most recently, I have taught Intro to Exploratory Data Analysis & Visualization and Management Information Systems. I have also taught Theory of Computation, Web Application Development. Introduction to Programming in Java, Machine Learning, Analysis of Algorithms, Data Structures and Web Design. I am currently the immediate past-president of ISCAP-EDSIG
