Short
Biography and Research Interests |
I am a faculty member of
Computer
Science and Software Engineering and
Industrial & Systems Engineering (via
joint appointment) in the
College of
Engineering at
Auburn University.
Prior to joining faculty in 2003, I was a senior research engineer in
the Simulation and Software Division of
Trident Systems
Incorporated, in Fairfax, Virginia, where I worked as a senior
research engineer and principle investigator for projects that involve advanced simulation
theory and methodology development as well as simulation composability and interoperability
efforts. I earned my Ph.D. and
M.S. degrees from
Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. My research interests are in
Quote - "The old definition of
computer science - the study of phenomena surrounding computers - is
now obsolete. Computing is the study of natural and artificial
information processes." - Peter J. Denning
I am a member
of ACM, IEEE Computer Society, Society for Computer Simulation
International (SCS -
http://www.scs.org),
and Upsilon Pi Epsilon. During 2004-2006, I served as the
secretary of SCS. I was then elected by the members of the Society for
Modeling Simulation International to its board of directors for the
2006-2008 biennium. I also serve as an advisor to Workforce Development
Committee of the Alabama Modeling and Simulation Council (http://www.amsc.to).
