Biography
I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Santa Clara University. I started teaching at Santa Clara in the fall of 2000. Prior to that I was an assistant professor for one year at Clark University in Massachusetts in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Currently, I am associate chair of the department, with responsibility for undergraduate programs, including events for incoming students such as open house weekend, preview day weekend, and orientation. I am also acting chair of the department during the summer, as well as the faculty advisor for Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the computing honor society.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1998 from the University of California San Diego in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, working with Bill Griswold. I also received my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from the same institution.
