Welcome to my webpage. I am working as a professor in the department of computer science at Central Michigan University where I have established the Redei lab on aviation safety. I graduated with a PhD in computer science at the University of Nevada- Reno under professor Sergiu Dascalu. My research interests include flight simulation, life science robotics, real estate, and artificial intelligence.

The Redei lab’s primary research thrust is in flight simulation. My lab researches pilot training and aviation safety. We simulated flight formations of the Blue Angels at Aviation Roundup Airshow in 2018. Our research into aviation safety has been highlighted on radio programs and in print.

As 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. I setup the forensic lab in Sydney, Australia, a massive project which automates all sample lysis for the entire state of New South Whales (an area 20% bigger than the state of Texas).

This is my online portfolio. Learn more about my research, my classes, and how to hire me.

 

HOBBIES, VOLUNTEER PROJECTS, & WORLD TRAVEL MAP

Some highlights of the volunteer organizations and activities I'm involved with.

 

TRAVEL

I have done programming in over 52 cities in 5 countries. Travel is one of the best aspects of my job. As the technical expert, I was often on a plane with little or no notice to put out fires at customer sites. Observing aviation from airports is what inspired me to do my research on aviation safety (it’s not that I don’t feel safe on an airplane, it’s just that I found the process of safety in aviation interesting). Below are some highlights of places I’ve traveled to:

HOUR OF CODE

University of Nevada - Reno

Taught kids 2nd grade through 5th grade how to code using the hour of code format. Basic programming constructs were taught at first with progressively advanced topics covered in successive sessions. The goal of the program was to navigate a robot through a maze.

FIRST TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE JUDGE

Coral Academy Charter School -  1701 Valley Road -
Reno, NV 89512

Volunteer judge at the first robotic conference for 7th - 9th grade children.

GHOST BUSTERS COSTUME

Built a 'ghostbusters' costume, using a bottle, led lights, 5V power source, and a rasperry pi. Nalgene bottle was used as a 'tank', which was lit with fluorescent paint and LEDs. The lights were controlled with a raspberry pi, used 3 GPIO pins to drive the LED lights (controlling color and intensity).

REAL ESTATE

I am a licensed real estate broker in the state of Nevada. Highlights include:

  • Over $1 million in real estate transactions

  • Deep knowledge of Northern Nevada property market as a Reno native (I know where the buys are)

  • Built a profitable rental business through house flipping and good management. 10 year track record of delivering 20%+ internal rate of returns.

I also use machine learning to try to predict the outcome of property tax auctions in Northern Nevada. For more info on how I combine my passion for real estate with my computer science background, see my page on machine learning or contact me.
