Full-time Instructor at City College of San Francisco since 1984. Born in Belgium, I obtained my Engineering degree (Mechanical and Electrical) from The University of Louvain, and my Ph.D. in Engineering Science from U.C.Berkeley . From 1974 until 1977 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Montreal and from 1977 until 1983 I was Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique, actively participating in the research activities of the Biomedical Engineering Institute.I returned to the United States in 1983. After teaching one year at San Francisco State University as a part-time Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering, I joined the Faculty of City College in August 1984. From 1984 until 1998, I was a member of the Department of Engineering and Technology. I was also the Coordinator of the Environmental Technology Program from 1993 to 1997 and the Director of the Regional Environmental Business Resource and Assistance Center (REBRAC) from 1994 to 1998. After that I transferred to the Computer and Information Science Department and became the main contact for CCSF's Cisco Networking Academy. In the Fall of 2002, I was the first chairperson of the newly created Computer Networking and Information Technology (C.N.I.T.) Department . One of my recent task has been to lead a $750,000 NSF-ATE project ICONS from 2005-2008 as its Principal Investigator. More recently, City College has been awarded a new 4-year $3,000,000 NSF-ATE grant for the establishment of the Mid-Pacific ICT Center (MPICT) of which I am the Principal Investigator. | ||
