Welcome! This is the home page for Ted Markowitz at
the University of New Haven's Department of Electrical & Computer
Engineering and Computer Science. Here you'll find information on
the courses I teach as well as how to contact me when you need
assistance or advice. Classes I have taught (or are hoping to teach in
coming semesters) include Computer Security, Web Application Development, and
Artificial Intelligence, among others. Click on the class-related links on this page for more
detailed information on those courses.
Here's a brief bit on my background: I've worked in the
Information Technology arena for over 25 years with both
established and more recently founded firms such as
American Express, Xerox, and Netscape Communications, where I've enjoyed
a number of positions. These have included advanced technology research,
management of programming and IT support teams, as well as a lot of hands-on
development using the latest systems and tools. It was during this time
that I earned my MS in Computer Science from Columbia. Since 2000 I've
been a principle and Chief Architect with
Cognosys LLC, which is a systems
consulting firm in Connecticut where I've worked on projects for both
large companies like AOL and other small firms as well.
More recently I completed my doctoral dissertation in Computer
Science at
Pace University in NY in the field of Machine Learning as it
might be used to construct larger and more relevant training and testing
databases in an efficient, autonomous manner. This work
was pursued in conjunction with the
anti-spam
researchers at IBM Research in Hawthorne, NY. Here's a
paper from
the CEAS 2006 anti-spam conference describing some of the work which
appears in the dissertation.
