managed implementation of projects.
1976-1980 Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Washington University in Saint Louis
He taught undergraduate and graduate computer science classes, monitored thesis and dissertations for graduate students, and directed the Computer Engineering Laboratory for graduate and funded research projects. In the summers, he operated a consulting company with close ties to the local IBM General Systems Division to provide software engineering services to manufacturers in the Saint Louis area.
1968-1976 Senior Electrical Engineer, National Security Agency, Fort Meade MD
At Fort Meade, he was assigned to computer systems development projects for two years, and then was promoted to the computer science research department after writing a scientific paper that was deemed important to the agency.
He was assigned to solve numerous problems related to high performance computing and cryptology for the remaining six years at NSA. During the eight year period, he was awarded a full time tuition paid scholarship from NSA to complete his Masters degree. Then he continued his education on evenings and weekends to complete requirements for the PhD in 1976. An article based on his dissertation was published in the IEEE Transactions on Computers in September, 1977.
