Statement of Research Interests:

As a lecturer my primary research is pedagogical in nature concerning the courses I teach.  This included curriculum development, test teaching and evaluation of CS1 using personal robots as the context for education. I taught four CS1301 classes at the Georgia Institute of Technology (ranging in size from 25 to 266 students). In addition, I developed, deployed and analyzed data from a study to evaluate the effectiveness of the personal robot approach to teaching CS1.  I am generally interested in autonomous robotics, computer vision and projector camera systems, electronically assisted astro-photography and digital radio communications.

Statement of Teaching Interests:

I currently teach CS 7638 - Artificial Intelligence for Robotics for the OMSCS program.  On campus I have previously taught:
CS 1301 - Introduction to Computing (CS 1 - with Robots in Python)
CS 1315 - Introduction to Computing (CS 1 - with Media in Python)
CS 1316 - Representation of Structure & Behavior (CS 2 - OOP & Data Structures in Java)
CS 2316 - Data Manipulation for Science and Industry (CS 1.5 with focus on building practical applications)
CS 2200 - Systems and Networks
CS 3651 - Prototyping Intelligent Appliances (Devices thread capstone course)
CS 4001 - Computers & Society (Professional Ethics and Written Communication)
CS 4400 - Introduction to Database Systems
CS 4475 - Computational Photography
