We mourn and honor those who lost their lives in the cause of freedom. My broad research interest is the use of information technology to support better inference and decision making. Within this broad area, I have worked on the application of decision theory to intelligent decision and inference support systems. I have worked on understanding the proper role of normative, behavioral, and computational theories in the modeling and support of decision making. Some recent papers and presentations are available online.
Education is a lifelong process of bringing out an individual's unique potential.
Although the ultimate responsibility and the ultimate reward lie with the student , a teacher can do much to facilitate or to repress a student's joy in learning and willingness to stretch beyond the horizons of his or her current knowledge and worldview. My primary objective in teaching is to spark in students the excitement I feel a bout the subject matter. I aim to give students the basic knowledge and the confidence they need to be able to follow their curiousity where it leads them. Information about courses I teach is available online.
