About

You may also view more information at this site:
my personal page

I spent part of my childhood in Utah and loved the setting with its access to mountains, deserts, and rivers. I left for graduate school and was fortunate enough to live in New York City, Paris, and Mexico City. After 10 years away, I returned to Utah where I teach in the Department of Computer Science at Westminster.

Research/Teaching Interests

My main areas of teaching are programming, computer architecture, and database systems.
I am currently engaged in analyzing positron lifetimes in semiconductors using programs that model the atomic lattice and the positron interactions in 3D. This project is in conjunction with a quantum physicist. He is getting better at programming and I am getting better at physics!
