I majored in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and received a bachelor's degree in 1962 and a doctoral degree in 1964. After teaching at MIT and Princeton University, I worked on compiler research in RCA's Computer Systems Division. Afterwards, I taught in the field of computer science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the University of Seton Hall, and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I have been engaged in educational and research activities for 25 years as a RIT professor in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Imaging Science. I was also responsible for the master's program in the Department of RIT Computer Science and was responsible for subjects such as programming languages, computer theory, pattern identification, neural networks, and genetic algorithms.
For several years, I visited Kyoto every year to be in charge of short-term intensive courses at Kyoto Computer Gakuin, one of our group schools. I am very glad to have this great opportunity and to have met many good friends here again.
I have also been involved in many researches over the years and has served as a consultant for RCA, Dun & Bradstreet, Xerox, Kodak, Hewlett-Packard and the Census Bureau. At Kodak Research Institute, we conducted research on handwriting recognition (obtained two patents). I continue to be interested in mathematics, programming languages, image processing, genetic algorithms, etc., and participate in various associations.
I am proud to be a member of the faculty of this college. I would also like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all students as they take their first steps into this interesting, fascinating, and dynamic world of IT.IT continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate. The application range of IT is also expanding. IT professionals are valuable because they can integrate computers, software, and the Internet into a variety of organizations.
Study it, master it, and enjoy it!
