RESEARCH
My research areas have changed through the years from the broad field of Software Engineering and in particular, software transportation and software metrics, to Computer Science Education and Improving Success Rates in Introductory Programming Courses. Most recently however, my research has been in two different areas: 1) I have worked with colleagues in looking at differences in program execution between programs that would appear to be coded similarly and 2) I have worked with Iyatiti Mokube, a recent graduate of our M.S. program in Computer Science on investigating the Digital Forensics of an iPod Shuffle.
My work is almost always collaborative in nature and has involved colleagues, undergraduate students, and graduate students.
RECENT STUDENT WORK
“Digital Forensics: Forensic Analysis of an iPod Shuffle,” Iyatiti, Mokube, ACM Southeast Regional Conference 2008, March 28-29, 2008, Auburn, AL. This paper was selected as the best student paper in the conference.
“Digital Forensics: Forensic Analysis of an IPOD Shuffle,” M.S. Thesis, Iyatiti Mokube, December 2007. I served as the chair of Iyatiti’s Thesis committee.
