I am a researcher, administrator, and professor with 25+ years of higher education experience. This includes teaching and research on engineering design, industrial consulting in the area of AI/ML/Robotics, institutional development, and curriculum work. My areas of interest include medical image processing, medical device designing, mathematical modeling of physiological processes, and the applications of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to Healthcare Data. In recent times I have started focusing on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Outside my professional life, I also have a long standing interest in arms control, war history, and human rights.
