June 2003 - present- University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. El Pomar Chair of Innovation and Security, Professor of Computer Science, Co-Director Bachelor of Innovation Programs, Director El Pomar Institute of Innovation and Commercialization, and Director Vision and Security Technology Lab.  I came to UCCS to transform education, and from 2003-2007 l laid the groundwork for and was the founder of the Bachelor of Innovation family of degrees, which launched in 2007 and now serves over 600 students across 23 majors. In Fall 2020, I was recognized as a  Distinguished Professor, the highest honor that the University of Colorado bestows on its own faculty members.

June 1998 - June 2003- Lehigh University, EECS Department. Professor of Computer Science. Appointed to the New Century Fund Chair (1998) and then the Wieseman Chair (2000). I was the founding Chairman of the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Lehigh University, July 2001. From 1998 through 2001, lead the planning process and pitching the CSE department formation to the administration and board of trustees and operated as a subunit within EECS with duties much like a chairman before becoming the actual founding chairman.

Sep. 1994 - June 1998 - Lehigh University, EECS Department. Associate Professor of Computer Science. Started the Vision and Software Technology (VAST) laboratory.

Teaching Experience


I championed, designed and help shepherd the Bachelor of Innovation family of degrees through the CU approval process and am passionate about it. I designed/ developed and initially taught each of the innovation core courses. Note: my official teaching load at UCCS is 1 course per term. I teach more, often much more, because we don't have the resources needed for the Innovation programs, it is important and also because I enjoy it. In addition to the standard courses here I usually teach 3-5 students in independent study courses per term as well as supervising 8-12 students in dissertation credits.   As an El Pomar Professor my teaching load was 3 course per year from 2003 until 2008 when El Pomar share of the salary was raised to 50% and my teaching load was reduced to 2 courses per year.  

Spring 2024 I “bought out” and did not teach any regular courses as I prepared new online courses.

Fall 2023, CS6000 Ph.d. course on Computer Science Research Methods(Hybrid),  and INOV2100 (Technical, Proposal Writing and Presentations) Online.

Fall 2023, I taught CS6000 Ph.d. course on Computer Science Research Methods(Hybrid),  and ENTP 1000 . 

Spring 2022 I  “bought out” and did not teach any regular courses.

Fall 2021,  I taught CS6000 Ph.d. course on Computer Science Research Methods(100% online),  and ENTP 1000 (hybrid again). 

Spring 2021, I taught ENTP1000 as a fully online course.

Fall 2020 I taught CS6000 Ph.d. course on Computer Science Research Methods(100% online),  and ENTP1000 (Intro to Entrepreneurship) which was taught hybrid mode (some students inclass some remote).

Spring 2020 I was on sabbatical so did not teach.

Fall 2019 I taught CS6000 (Required Ph.d. course on Computer Science Research Methods), as well as INOV4010, Inov3010, and Inov2010. The latter is the teams' course in the Bachelor of Innovation family of degrees. It engages seniors,juniors and sophomores respectively in a course where they apply the innovation process working with external customers to deliver real impact to the customers' company/non--profit.

Spring 2019, I taught Entrepreneurship and Strategy (ENTP4500) with a significantly updated course design with individual rather than team projects. I also taught INOV 1010 introduction to the innovation process (see description below).

Fall 2018, I taught CS2300, CS6000 and Innovation Teams courses INOV4010/Inov3010/Inov2010. Descriptions below

Fall 2018, I taught CS2300, CS6000 and Innovation Teams courses INOV4010/Inov3010/Inov2010. Descriptions below

Spring 2018, I developed/offered an Online Version of ENTP1000, Intro to Entrepreneurship, with online lectures and video-based teamwork for students (Online FCQs did not use the same system so not in my course evaluation packet). This was to evaluate ideas to use in the online Master of Innovation which we hope to launch soon. In addition, I also taught and Entrepreneurship and Strategy (ENTP4500) described below and a small section of INOV4100 Innovation practium, (where I help student actually launch their companies.

Fall 2017 I taught BLAW 2010 to over 98 students, and CS2300 Computational Linear Algebra, Descriptions are below

Spring 2017 I taught CS Research Methods (CS600), and Entrepreneurship and Strategy (ENTP4500). Descriptions below.

In fall 2016, I revised Computational Linear Algebra (upgrading from CS1300 to CS2300 and increasing programming content). I also taught Innovation Teams courses INOV4010/Inov3010/Inov2010.

In spring 2016, I taught Innovation Teams (INOV4010/Inov3010/Inov2010), Intro. to Entrepreneurship (ENTP1000) and Entrepreneurship and Strategy (ENTP4500). Descriptions below.

In Fall 2015 I developed and taught CS6000, Introduction to Commuter Science Research Methods to 30 students. This is a new course designed for Ph.D. students in their first term. It provides an overview of important research methodologies, practical skills and an overview of the different CS research subareas.

Summer 1984 - AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ. Summer Member of Technical Staff.    Designed and implemented computer vision modules to detect, link, and label edges in gray-scale images. Incorporated new modules into an existing computer vision system, extending its binary image object recognition to a more flexible gray-level image-based object recognition.

January 1983 to September 1983 - Hershfeld, Stern, Moyer, and Ross, NYC, NY. Actuarial/Systems Programmer. Designed and implemented a large general-purpose program for the management of employee stock ownership plans. Functioned as an internal technical consultant for the purchase and installation of a PRIME 2250. Customized operating system of the 2250, and established a data link to a PRIME 750.

September 1981 to January 1983 - NASA - Goddard Institute for Space Studies, NYC, NY.      Scientific Programmer. Programmed an IBM 4341 in Fortran under MVT and CMS.

1 I define "significant publications" as papers, at least 6 pages in length, that appear in journals or conferences with < 35% acceptance rate, with at least two written referee reports, and that are distributed to > 200 people or libraries. Or conference papers which, because of their importance, are later chosen to be included in widely distributed books or achieve significant levels (>50) of citations.

2 Other Publications are those with "minimal reviewing" standard, but where full papers are published, including invited papers and workshops which have minimal reviewing standards (including any that accepts > 50% of papers). University technical reports, and workshops/conferences (e.g. SPIE) that publish only abstracts are not included in this CV.
