I have been a professor at CSU Stanislaus since 1981, starting in the Mathematics Department. In 1982, I helped found the Computer Science Department. Over the years I played a central role in the creation and development of the Cognitive Studies program, and have been involved with the University Honors program. My central areas of focus recently have been complex adaptive systems and bioinformatics.
