Keith is currently a software engineer for
BAE Systems
in
Advanced Information Technologies
formerly known as Alphatech.
He is also an instructor for the
Computer Science department of
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
(WPI). He is teaching CS 3733 Software Engineering the summer of 2005.
Courses previously taught include
Web Ware
which 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.
Keith's most recent research efforts are in data modeling and automated user
interface generation. He created a novel data model and user
interface technology which was promoted by WPI and awarded a provisional
patent.
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 in 2002. During 2003-2004 Keith served a one year
appointment as a research engineer at WPI's
Bioengineering Institute.
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.
Keith and his advisor, Carolina Ruiz, have published a paper based on this
work.
Mining Expressive Temporal Associations from Complex Data
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.
