Welcome to my website. I am a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Central Michigan University. I am the director of the Michigan Aerospace Center for Simulations (MACS) specializing in aviation safety. My other research interests include flight simulation, life science robotics, and artificial intelligence.
The MACS lab’s primary research thrust is in flight simulation. My lab researches high-G manuevering and aviation safety. I simulated flight formations of the Blue Angels at the Aviation Roundup Airshow in 2018 and got to meet a few of the crew. My research into aviation safety has been highlighted on radio programs and in print.
In my prior life as a roboticist and director of software, I flew across the US, Brazil, Switzerland, and Australia supporting key customer accounts totaling $8 million in sales. I led the technical aspects of Hamilton Reno’s EasyPunch, IDStarlet, and AutoLys platforms and setup the forensic lab in Sydney, Australia as well as Nevada, Utah, and Kansas.
