Biography

I am a research and development manager for 3M Display and Graphics Business Laboratory and an instructor of Information and Decision Sciences in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. As a technologist and business person, I have played a key role in several new business development programs at 3M including 3M's RFID File Tracking, RFID Specimen Tracking, and RFID anti-counterfeiting technology. Prior to my current role with 3M I held positions with Cargill, Inc. and Microsoft. At Microsoft, I contributed to the development of the original .NET platform through their Joint Development Program. At Cargill, I was a subsystem designer for the Lynx application, a global grain origination system.

In addition to my professional work, I have published a number of academic papers regarding tracking, mapping, mobile applications, and computer science education. I have also been invited to speak in various forums about topics such as RFID tracking and information management in health care, and using Elliptic Curve Cryptography to combat pharmaceutical counterfeiting.

I have a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota. In addition to my ongoing role in new business development for 3M, I continue to do research in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota where I am completing my dissertation for a Ph.D.
