About
As a technologist, designer, and
creative problem-solver, I'm
passionate about teaching people to
embrace new technology and explore. I
am the Chair of the Computer Science
department at Judson University.
Before my appointment, I served as an
Associate Professor in the College of
Technology, Architecture and Applied
Engineering at Bowling Green State
University (BGSU). I teach courses in
Programming, Data Structures and
Algorithms, Software Design Patterns,
Interactive Media, Usability, User
Experience, and Augmented/Virtual
Reality. I was the founding director
of the Collab Lab, a hands-on,
creative space for students and
faculty to engage in collaborative
work. My research efforts are directed
in several areas: AI Supported
Individualized Learning, Learner
Experience Design, Technology for
Online Assessment, Interactive Mobile
Learning, and Computerized Sign
Language Synthesis. I enjoy
collaborating on projects involving
cutting-edge technology and new
applications.
