As of July 1st 2016, I am a WPI CS Professor Emeritus. While officially retired, I remain involved with WPI through its Global Projects Program. In the A20 term I was a co-advisor with Professor Chiarelli for remote projects at the Panama Project Center and in the D21 term I will co-advise with Professor Butler remote projects for the Bucharest, Romania Project Center.
