Students should leave my courses feeling they had a valuable experience because they are better prepared to advance in their careers. Ideally, they can reflect on how they are better prepared to create value for an organization by applying new technical skills in ways that consider the organization’s needs and the ethical issues embedded in all technology applications. I regularly introduce students to new tools and techniques because I want them to feel there is no gap between what they learn in my courses and what will help them, and by proxy, their families.
Over my 20+ years as a researcher, my research interests have included promoting trust in online discussions to improve decision-making, understanding the important dimensions of online learning platforms, improving project cost and duration estimates, and enhancing fraud detection in government-funded programs (my current research emphasis). Fraud detection and the data associated with it provide ample opportunities for me to introduce students to my research interests while keeping them engaged and learning. Most students prefer to learn technical skills using data that is relevant to them.
For the last five years, I have helped the government investigate fraud. Unfortunately, most of these efforts cannot be made public yet.
Overall, I want to be supportive and helpful.
I enjoy training for marathons, going to the gym with my wife, and watching my kids grow into fine young adults. I have a small group of friends that I see about once a week, and others that I try to see at least once a month. Maintaining friendships requires deliberate and consistent effort. I believe more people would be happier if they realized that outside of college or work, most friendships don’t persist without effort.
One of my favorite sayings is: “This too shall pass.” This applies to good and bad times. Enjoy good times when you can and remember that bad times will pass, too.
