About me

As a technologist, designer, and creative problem-solver, I'm passionate about teaching people to embrace new technology and explore. I am the Robert Miner Endowed Chair of the Department of Computer and Cyber Security at Roosevelt University. Before joining Roosevelt, I led the Computer Science Department at Judson University and served as Associate Professor of Visual Communication Technology in the College of Technology, Architecture and Applied Engineering at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). 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: STEM Education, Learner Experience Design, Technology for Online Assessment, Interactive Mobile Learning, Innovative Interfaces, and Computerized Sign Language Synthesis. I enjoy collaborating on projects involving cutting-edge technology and new applications.
