At Cargill, I was a subsystem designer for the Lynx application, a global grain origination system.Beyond my professional work and teaching, I have published a number of academic papers regarding tracking, mapping, mobile applications, and computer science education. I have been invited to speak in various forums about topics such as RFID tracking and information management in health care, and using Elliptic Curve Cryptography to combat pharmaceutical counterfeiting. I am also a board member for Lifeline Pilots, an organization of volunteer pilots that provides free air transportation for medical patients in need.My personal philosophy is that teaching, research, and industry practice are complementary activities.
