Further Information
My Ph.D. work at UConn was on the topics of case-based and constraint-based reasoning in engineering design. I subsequently spent some time working on the Gene Expression Project at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, applying Artificial Intelligence to the biological domain. Currently I'm working in the Digital Imaging Technology Center within the Research & Technology division at Xerox on various techniques associated with the representation and processing of custom documents.
