d. Synergistic Activities

.

PI of three federally funded research efforts(NSF and DHS) investigating discovery-learning approaches that build conceptual depth related to the mathematics underlying quantitative STEM disciplines.

Received fourfaculty gift awards($30,000, from IBM, and three$30,000 from TI, $28,000 from Microsoft). My systems research has also been funded by the Center for Defense Systems Research and White Sands Missile Range.

While at NYU, I led efforts (but was not eligible to officially serve as PI) that were awarded research contracts and a Phase II STTR from DARPA to investigate image recognition in synthetic aperture radar.

Active in socially constructive efforts outside of employment. Mentor for “at risk” urban teens in a program administered by New York Cares. Participant in project that teaches relationship skills to juveniles incarcerated in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Technical focus: designof autonomicand secure high performance systems in a variety of contexts including representations and algorithms for expressing and enforcing security relationships among mutually distrustful administrative domains, securely deploying mobile agents, and the efficient dissemination of on-line content. Led or contributed to research efforts in electrical design, shared-memory architecture, inter-process coordination, and computer vision. One of original design team for Coral CDN, a peer-to-peer content distribution network that “democratizes” web publication. Coral handles a substantial amount of web traffic that otherwise would saturate under-provisioned web servers.

Nominated and selected for NAE’s Frontiers of Engineering Education symposium, Spring 2009.

Board member: Association of Computer Educators in Texas.
