RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:

Over the last several years,  I  have  been  involved  in  research 
concerning the following general areas:

1)  Development of Web-based computer simulation and visualization
    models using VRML and Java programming.

2)  Specialized high-performance reconfigurable  computer  design 
using programmable logic.

3) General parallel processor design.

4)   Applications  of  computing  technologies   to   engineering 
education.

5)   Applications  of  engineering  to  neurophysiological   data 
acquisition and analyses.

6) Neural Networks.
