M.S., Computer Science, 1979, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska

'Doctorandus' Mathematics, 1977, Katholieke Universiteit, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

'Kandidaats' Mathematics, 1972, Katholieke Universiteit, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
 

Courses Taught Since 2002:

  •    Discrete Structures
  •    Queueing Theory
  •    Applied Probability
  •    Advanced Queueing Theory
  •    Problems in ECE
  •    Applied Stochastic Model
  •    Data Structures Algorithms
  •    Design and Analysis Algorithms

Research Interests:
Queuing theory and performance modeling of computer and communication networks, specializing in linear algebraic queuing theory, the matrix-exponential distribution, and correlated matrix-exponential sequences. These allow for performance models where the exponential and independence assumptions can not be made, yet preserves the ease of modeling with Markovian models, Algorithms and Data Structures and the Complexity of their operations, Recreational Algorithms
