Peter Maher is a Professor of Computer Science at Webster University. He possess expertise in higher education, teaching, research, university teaching, public speaking and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Peter was one of the best computer science professors I've ever known. He cared for the success of his students and was always available for counsel. Always interested in the latest developments in computer science, he taught his students the tools they needed for success. In or around the years 1993/94, I took courses in Object Oriented Design and Programming (with C++) and Artificial Intelligence (with Prolog), long before these technologies became mainstream in software engineering. I am convinced it was Peter's vision, his technical astuteness and his open, nurturing method of learning that made me successful in my software engineering career. "
