Current Activities and Research Interests
I have a consulting company, Interrupt Sciences, which provides consulting services on computer science topics.
I am an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the University at Buffalo in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I routinely teach Systems Programming and Distributed Systems.
My research interests are diverse, and lie in the following areas: virtual machines, real-time systems, memory management, transport protocols, and network measurement.
Publications
I have published a number of academic papers as well as standards documents.
Past Activities and Research
I hold a Ph.D. from Purdue University from the Department of Computer Science. I graduated under Sonia Fahmy. My dissertation title was Controlling the Cost and Increasing the Utility of Network Measurement Infrastructures, and dealt with admission control, replacement of direct measurements by inference, and vantage point selection in the context of infrastructure-based measurements.
I did my undergraduate at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. I graduated from the Honors Tutorial College with a degree in Computer Science. My tutorial advisor was Shawn Ostermann.

Lost Bits is my site dedicated to retrocomputing and other computing technology.
I maintain a set of sporadically-updated pages on ham radio and other, similar topics.
I have an equally sporadically-updated blog on other topics.
I sometimes put out YouTube videos about ham radio, Teletypes, retrocomputing, and other stuff I'm interested in.
I frequent the Retro Computing Forum.
