Research Interest

My research interests involve computer networking, Web/CGI programming,
object-oriented design & programming, wireless technology, and computer science education.



I have started The FATPIPE Project which is an educational pipeline designed
to attract more underrepresented students into the computer science major and facilitate their success.



As part of my doctoral studies I've developed a online system for collecting data related to
one's leadership called The Online Leadership Inventory System - O.L.I.S.


I've also developed a similar system, The Online Journal System - O.L.J.S. ,
as part of The FATPIPE Project that will encourage students to reflect upon
their college experience and develop the skills needed to become leaders in the future.
