II. PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

My primary research and teaching interests include relational and object-relational database management systems, the Java and .NET approaches to IT, and the philosophy of computation. In particular, I am concerned with the performance analysis of database structures, the implementation of database internals (I have guided many students in the implementation and extension of my fully functional relational DBMS PEIRCE), the exposition of widely used DBMS implementations such as Oracle, and the philosophical aspects of computational complexity theory and incompleteness theorems. I have published three books for Osborne/McGraw-Hill Oracle Press. I am the creator and sole teacher of all the undergraduate and graduate CS database courses.
