Recent Award: Distinguished Teacher of the Year, Computer Science Department, 2006

 


 

Research: Development and implementation of fully-distributed web-based TA scheduling and class scheduling applications (joint project between myself and Gopal Gupta). These applications are both currently used by the Computer Science Department and the Electrical Engineering Department. The TA scheduling application includes an AI computational engine and a Java-Prolog interface. Both applications utilize a user-friendly graphical user interface, web-based data collection with real-time interactive web portal, client-server processing, and extensive error checking
