since June 97.
I began teaching at BCC in August of 1984, after working at General Electric as a Design Engineer in their Computer Engineering Department. I worked on digital/analog 68000-based flight computers. My first 17 years at BCC were spent in the Electrical Engineering Technology Department. I have an AAS in EET from BCC (1981), a BSEE from RIT (1984), an MSAT from Binghamton University (1988), and have invested over 15 years working on a PhD in Computer Science at Binghamton University, researching VLIW-based computer architecture. I am A+ and Network+ certified by CompTIA. I am a recipient of the 2002 New York State Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, the 2004 BCC Distinguished Alumni Award, the 2005 Verizon NextStep STAR Award, and the 2007 Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society's Certificate of Recognition.
This semester I am on sabbatical, looking into network security and forensics. I am also an online WebCT instructor for Excelsior College (Vista 3 and Vista 4 editions).
My interests include ray tracing/casting, 3d game design, LANs, supercomputers, digital logic design, image processing, data compression, C/C++ programming, cryptology, electronic displays, programming languages, emulation, signal processing, A/D and D/A conversion, Windows sockets, multitasking, protected mode, operating systems, assembly language, assembler and compiler design, number theory, the Big Bang, the human brain, designing new things that contain microprocessors or microcontrollers, and forensics (both human, computer, and crime scene).
Feel free to email me a note. Thanks for browsing.
I typically teach the following courses:
From January 2003 until April 2006 I wrote a bi-monthly column for Nuts and Volts magazine, titled Let's Get Technical and a bi-monthly column for Servo magazine, titled The Assembly Line. Previously, I wrote a monthtly column titled Technically Speaking for Circuit Cellar Online magazine. In addition, I have authored or co-authored (with Alan Dixon and Kenneth Mansfield) several college textbooks.
