Keith is currently an instructor teaching
Web Ware
for the
Computer Science department of
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
(WPI). Web Ware deals with the issues and mechanics of building web
based applications and dynamic web sites. Kapow, a web site
generation system built by Keith, dynamically generates all the pages
on this site.
Also at WPI, Keith conducts research on data modeling and automated user
interface generation. He is the primary author of patents pending for
his data model and user interface technologies.
This work was inspired by a successful six month project with the MA
Norfolk County Sheriff's Office for which he was awarded a
Geo. I. Alden Fellowship.
Keith recently finished a one year appointment as a research engineer
at WPI's
Bioengineering Institute.
He worked on building a visual front-end for 3D mobile node network
simulations.
Keith earned his Master of Science degree in Computer
Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2004.
His Master's thesis topic was mining temporal association rules from
complex temporal sequence data.
The system built for his thesis, ASAS, has been in
use by many other research projects at WPI since 2002.
He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in CS also from WPI,
graduating with High Distinction in 1998.
As an undergraduate Keith's main areas of study were artificial
intelligence, computer vision, and software engineering.
After completing his BS Keith worked as a performance analyst and
computer scientist for EMC Corporation until 2002 when he returned to
WPI as a full time graduate student.
Keith has served as President of the WPI 1998 Class Board of Directors
since 1998,
as President of the
Mass Alpha Chapter of UPE
(Upsilon Pi Epsilon, an internationally recognized computer honor
society) 2002-2004 and Vice-President in 1998,
as President of the
Worcester Area ACM Chapter
(Association for Computing Machinery) 1996-1999,
and as Vice-President of the
WPI Social Committee
1997-1998 administrating a $200K+ campus programming fund.
