Biography

Dr. Garzon obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, Urbana after a B.S. in Matematics and Physics. His current research focuses on interactive computing, broadly including traditional areas (parallel and distributed computing and human-computer interaction), as well as emerging areas of bioinformatics, biomolecular programming, and nanotechnology. In addition to over 160 publications in these areas, including four books and numerous special issues, he has developed software products for complex systems simulation and control, such as Edna (a virtual test tube), early versions of Autotutor (a multimedial autonomic computer-based tutoring system for instruction in computer literacy and conceptual physics), online election systems and a variety of software solutions for local business and industries as part of internships and outreach projects. His research has been funded by NSF, AFOSR and other agencies. He is a senior member of ACM, IEEE and is on the editorial board of several international journals.
