| Teaching and Research Interests: | My work centers on bridging the gap between historical innovation and modern technical education, specifically exploring how the foundations of cybersecurity and the evolution of artificial intelligence inform today's digital landscape. As the curator of the Museum of Technology, I prioritize creating equitable, hands-on learning environments where students from all walks of life can engage in the restoration of vintage hardware... including legacy computers, peripherals, and consoles. By bridging the gap between historical innovation and modern technical education, I strive to foster a classroom culture that values diverse perspectives while preserving foundational technologies for future generations of IT professionals. |
