I support the March
for Science At the University of Maryland my research work was in the area
of analytical spectroscopy and instrumentation development;
derivative and wavelength modulation spectroscopy;
continuum-source simultaneous multielement atomic absorption
spectrometry; microcomputer applications in science education;
diode-array spectroscopy; digital signal processing; science
education; applications of constructivist pedagogy in science
education. I have worked as a consultant
for many companies and have presented numerous short courses and workshops.
Check out the latest version of my
handbook on signal processing. User

Retirement
In retirement since 1999, I've
continued development of my popular
Web-based tutorial and lavishly
praised free toolkit of
software programs
for signal processing for science researchers and students,
as well as a set of interactive
simulation software modules for analytical chemistry
instruction. My Web pages have been viewed millions of times from
162
countries and have been cited in over 600
published papers, theses, and patents. For a presentation
about my project, see: "From
Telegraph Cables to Artificial Intelligence: Adventures in
Signal Processing".
Publications and Presentations (Click
here to search Google Scholar for my publications and citations).
I have published over 100 professional journal papers and book chapters; I have presented
over 200 seminars and talks
presented at national and international institutions and
conferences. Click here for my academic
Curriculum Vitae.
Since retirement, my wife and I have developed and presented a
number of workshops for teachers
on the applications of educational technology and Adult Education Courses on
technology-related topics. I am a regular contributor to the Matlab
File Exchange, where I am ranked in the top 1%
of contributors.
