Professional Highlights

I joined the staff of the Munsell Color Science Laboratory in January 1997. My responsibilities within the Munsell Lab center on maintaining the instrument and computing facilities. We have an extensive array of devices designed to measure various aspects of color. I also try to maintain a research presence in the Lab, with my main interests in color measurement and device characterization. Some recent work is listed below.

Within the Center for Imaging Science, I am currently responsible for teaching the first year color science graduate laboratory Color Measurement I. For four years, I was responsible for the undergraduate course Programming for Imaging Science I, and later designed and taught the follow-on course Programming for Imaging Science II. I have also taught the graduate course Programming for Imaging Scientists.

Prior to joining the Munsell Lab, I spent the previous 15 years in Corporate Research and Technology at Xerox Corp. During my time there, I was involved in xerographic technology development and system simulation and modeling. I still have an interest in these areas, and much of my current work involves various aspects of color modeling.

My Soapbox

I am an avid fan and supporter of local and national public radio. If you don't listen to public radio, try it! If you listen, support it! If you already support public radio, thanks! There is a special place in the afterlife for you (free beer and no commercials!).
