I am Director of AI & Automation Engineering for DelCam Capital’s Fund I. Previously I was an associate professor in the department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Monmouth College. I still teach there as an adjunct professor.
I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis under Kunal Agrawal and Angelina Lee and my B.S. in mathematics and computer science from Truman State University. In graduate school my research involved both theoretical and systems aspects of parallel computing, including scheduling, runtime systems, and dynamic program analysis. As a professor I became interested in interdisciplinary data science, especially machine learning for text analysis.
