In my research I seek to advance the practice and contribution of the computer science discipline. My interest include the design and development of web-based tools for the support of teaching and learning, and for the effective dissemination of information. I have participated in the research, development, and implementation of new innovative technology management and transfer methodologies. These advancements are necessary if the United States is to maintain its preeminent position in computer-related commerce and education in the rapidly changing global competitive environment. I also serve as the Faculty Curriculum Director of the Information Science + Information Studies (ISIS) program. The mission of ISIS is to study and create new information technologies and to analyze their impact on art, culture, science, commerce, society, and the environment.
I manage external relations for the Department to insure effective collaborations with other academic researchers, to develop mutually beneficial interactions with Industrial Partners, and to acquire research funding from government agencies and private foundations. These activites provide a mechanism to insure the relevanceand quality of the Department's research and teaching, and generates the necessary funding for Duke Computer Science to compete effectively with other universities as a national resource for research contributions and the production of the highest quality graduates. In addition, the inDuke industrial partners program (in collaboration with Electrical & Computer Engineering) provides a conduit to the corporate information sciences community to facilitate personal interactions and to provide for technical information exchange.inDuke Industrial Partners Program: Activities and Benefits
