Presentations

I have given many seminars on a wide variety of topics. Some of the institutions at which I have spoken include: Harvard, MIT, Columbia, SUNY Binghamton, University of Bridgeport, University of Delaware, Dartmouth College, Tulane University, University of Houston, Pembroke State University, Alabama State University at Montgomery, Oakland University in Rochester Michigan, McMaster University, the University of Southern Maine, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have also spoken at a variety of IBM facilities and to many different visitors at IBM. Below are some selected talks, dates and topics. I have given additional talks at professional meetings which are listed above with the publications and conference papers. Some of the talks listed here are also listed in the Conference Papers section. Not listed below are talks given at the University of Maine. In 2010-2011 I gave 17 of those. I have not kept track of these talks consistently over the years, so many others are not listed.
