Background

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the

Computer Science (2001) from Dalhousie University, Canada and a Master degree in
Automatic Control and Computers (1982) from the Polytechnic of Bucharest, Romania.
At UNR I am also co-Director of the Software Engineering Laboratory (SOELA).

My main research interests are in Software Engineering (in particular, requirements specification,
software environments, and software processes) and Human-Computer Interaction (user interface design,
visual environments, and simulation environments). Previous work includes real-time systems,
database systems, and computer-aided education.
