I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at Washington & Lee University. I take pride in using innovative educational techniques in the introductory computer science courses and advanced software development courses. I also enjoy working with motivated undergraduates on research problems with concrete outcomes.

Education

I completed my Ph.D. in Computer & Information Sciences from the University of Delaware in August 2007. I was a 2000 NSF Graduate Research Fellow.

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science from Gettysburg College and with a master's degree in computer science from Duke University.
