Some recent/upcoming initiatives/responsibilities include:
  • President, JCCC Faculty Association
  • Academic Chair, Innovative Pedagogy Strategies Committee, American Mathematical Association for Two-Year Colleges
  • Co-Facilitator, Implementing Best Practices in Courses Below Calculus, Traveling Workshop for American Mathematical Association for Two-Year Colleges, Los Angeles, CA in 2008
  • Co-Organizer, Biocalculus:  Designing Calculus Courses for Life Science Majors, Mathematical Association of America’s PRofessional Enhancement Program (PREP), Chicago, IL in 2008 & proposed St Louis, MO in 2009.
  • Contributor, Dynamical Systems in Physiological Modeling, Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, West Lafayette, IN
  • Contributor, MathDL Workshop for the NSDL (National Science Digital Library), The Carriage House, Mathematical Association of America, Washington, DC
  • Principal Investigator, Mathematical Methods for Biology & Medicine (NSF DUE #0535924).  The work includes developing a new course, Mathematical Methods for Biology & Medicine.  The grant also extends materials and offerings for the existing Calculus for Biology & Medicine course that JCCC currently offers. * Inolved as a contributor with an NSF grant to revive the CODEE resources and provide a related infrastructure to support contemporary differential equations instruction.  This grant, with principal investigators at Harvey Mudd College, is entitled Online Resources to Improve the Teaching and Learning of Differential Equations:  Encouraging the Widespread Use of Modeling and Computing (NSF DUE #0717490). *** Proposing principal investigator for a third grant, which received positive reviews but was ultimately denied, extends the use of computation across the curriculum and develops a cyber infrastructure to do so.  The proposed grant is entitled Ubiquotous Computing for Quantitative Literacy in Scholarship, Reseach, and Learning (UBICOM) (NSF DRL #0753411).  This grant proposal is being considered for revision and then submitting to an alternate solicitation in January 2008.
  • Developing web tools and modules for mathematical biology topics, particularly as they relate to biology, biotechnology, chemistry, physiology, & medicine.  The idea that has emerged is a modular learning community hosted/facilitated through technology.  Integrating the use of the WeBWorK homework system in my mathematics courses.
  • Raising five boys and supporting my family.

    NOTE TO FAMILY:  List not necessarily in order of priority.
