Academic Interests

My goal is to capture my students' interest in learning and encourage their on-going pursuit of learning.  Because of my prior work experience in the software industry, I know the importance of combining academic theory with practice.  Therefore I design my courses with a foundation in theory and best practices.

Research Interests  

I am interested in recognizing, documenting, and using patterns to
ease the difficulties associated with the software analysis and design
processes. This interest is the basis for my doctoral thesis. I also
have a broad interest in software engineering topics related to the
processes we use to create and evaluate software applications.

My Personal Side

    I enjoy reading mystery novels, some science fiction/fantasy novels, literature, and biographies.  So I very much enjoy browsing at bookstores while enjoying a cup of coffee.  Some of my favorite authors are Margaret Coel, Anne Perry, PD James, Isaac Asimov, Terry Brooks, and Charles Dickens.  I especially enjoy Harry Potter.  I like solving Sudoku and crossword puzzles.  I'm an avid landscape photographer.  I "live" the "ups and downs" of all the Philadelphia professional sports teams.
