I am an associate professor in the department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Monmouth College. 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. My research involves both theoretical and systems aspects of parallel computing, including scheduling, runtime systems, and dynamic program analysis. I am also interested in interdisciplinary data science, especially machine learning for text analysis.
Seeking a temporary/contract software engineer position! I will start my first sabbatical in May 2024. During this time I’d like to experience what my students do when they graduate, so my goal is to work as a part of an agile software development team. My deep expertise in C++ and Python, wide knowledge across the spectrum of computer science, and proven ability to quickly pick up new technologies overcome my limited industry experience. I can provide a unique perspective to your team. My sabbatical is flexible and can be extended as far as August 2025. If you’re interested in having me on your team, shoot me an email!
