          Over the last 20+ years, I have served in Belgium, Arizona, and Germany. In between assignments with troop units, I got a Master's Degree in Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Arkansas and taught at the United States Military Academy. More recently, I graduated with a Ph. D. in Computer Engineering in May 2006 and have returned to the Military Academy for another tour in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

 

Personal Details

 

 

 

PhD in Computer Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA (2006).
Dissertation was entitled “Decentralized Trust-based Access Control Methods for Dynamic Collaborative Environments” and focused on the access control requirements of an dynamic coalition responding to a natural disaster.
MS Computer Systems Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR (1994)
Research focused on software engineering of hypertext and hypermedia systems for training. Published a design methodology which utilized graphical modeling and object oriented design techniques to devise hypertext systems for optimal information retrieval.
BS Computer Engineering, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY (1986)
Distinguished Military Graduate.

 

 

 

Research Interests

Previously, I have researched and published on topics in hypermedia design, information retrieval, and the design of large scale information systems.

While researching my dissertation, I have become interested in the problems in key management and security in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.  

Currently, I'm investigating problems in access control and information sharing in coalition environments.
