Campus Location
Office: Science Building III, Room 319 Summer 2025 Schedule:
Office hours: Tu 1:00-2:50pm (online only)
You can contact me via Discord, Slack, and email during office hours. Relevant virtual office hours links are posted on the course page(s) for people enrolled in my course(s).
Note: Academic faculty members are not on regular contracts during the summer. Faculty members teaching summer courses are on special contracts that only pay for teaching the summer course. Students not in CMPS 3600 who have questions may email me, but expect delays in response as I'm not actually being paid for advising, etc. work during the summer. I am only being paid for teaching CMPS 3600 and Academic Senate work during the summer.

Site Navigation
Current and past courses I have taught can be found in the Teaching section.
The Research section contains my research interests, projects, publications
and curriculum vitae (CV). Documentation useful for students, links to the CSUB
library databases, and links to various computer related organizations are
in the Links section. My mailing address and email address can be found in
the Contact section.
Linux Tip
If you are having any issues with the graphical desktop on Linux, press
CTRL+ALT+F1 to drop down to the text-based console where you can log in to the
'student' account with a single terminal session. To go back to the graphical
desktop, press CTRL+ALT+F7 (but don't forget to log out of Odin and the
'student' account in the text console first).
Information Security (IS) & Global Intelligence and National Security (GINS)
Computer Science students wanting to know more about the Information Security
concentration and GINS students wanting to know more about how to incorporate
technology skills into their GINS coursework can click on the IS/GINS link in
the menu to the left.
Social Networking Note
I will accept requests to connect on LinkedIn from students in the CEE/CS
department. However, to maintain propriety, I will not send requests to
connect to students. It might take me a few days / weeks to respond to
connection requests on LinkedIn.
I do not have a Facebook, Instagram, or other social media accounts, so
any requests claiming to come from me from those sources should be treated
as a spam or phishing attempt.
