Biography
- Retired Director of Research and Technology for a PA Education Affiliate
- Ten years experience in project management as a large-scale software developer
- Thirteen years of teaching in the Computer Science discipline
Scholarship, Creative Activity:
Developed software to support course Problem Sets and impromptu student questioning for the Towson January Conference (2015).
Scholarly Papers | Synopsis:
- A Mechanism for Secure Delivery of Bare Machine Computing Software (2018) – This paper details a secure software deliver protocol applicable to military and other high security environments which meets the highest FIPS standards. By extension, this protocol can be extended to software deliveries other than Bare Machine applications that require enhanced security.
- Isolation By Design; A New Approach to Security Software (2010) – This paper focuses on software isolation strategies to improve software resistance against exploits.
- Emotion Interface for Eliza (2001) – This paper focuses on simulation of intelligence (AI) through computerized language processing with enhancement of an older MIT AI project called Eliza to add emotional responses through new textual analysis.
Selected Publications and Presentations:
- Creating an Actively Engaged Classroom with Apps Towson January Conference (2015).
Research:
Current research includes secure delivery protocols for Bare Machine Computing and alternate encryption protocols.
