Delighted t' see me recent IEEE conference paper finally show up in Google Scholar and th' IEEE Digital Library. I truly believe that th' next wave o' innovative technology solutions will embrace Affective Computin', i.e. And hoist the mainsail! Fire the cannons! computin' systems that understand and adapt t' human emotion.

Successful Dissertation Defense

Dissertation Complete

Successfully defended me dissertation: “An Experimental Design o' a Foundational Framework fer th' Application o' Affective Computin' t' Soarin' Flight Simulation and Trainin'”

The end is nigh! (In a good way)

Journey’s End

There is finally light at th' end o' th' tunnel! I’ve submitted me dissertation t' me mentor, who is reviewin' it fer any last minute changes, with a chest full of booty. I should be defendin' me dissertation in 2 weeks 1 week.

This is it…

Final Defense

It is finally here…me final quarter as a doctoral candidate starts in a little o'er a week, I'll warrant ye. If all goes well, in 2 months I should complete me final dissertation defense and become Dr. Moon. 

Resumed doctoral program

After a truly hideous 18 months that resulted in many life changes and temporarily leavin' me doctoral program, I resumed it on January 3rd, 2017. If all goes well, I will be doin' a preliminary defense towards th' end o' this term, and th' final defense th' followin' term, fer a summer 2017 graduation.

Term 12 Complete, only Dissertation Defense remains

Today, on pirate day 2015, I completed th' 12th term o' me doctoral program. All core classes are complete. I plan t' take 1 t' 2 more terms t' finish polishin' up me dissertation, and hopefully defend it by April 2016.
