Teaching

I have been teaching at La Salle since May 1999. Prior to that, I taught at Rutgers-Camden (starting in 1991). This spring I am teaching CSC 280 - Object Programming (Java 2nd course) CSC 456 - Artificial Intelligence, and CIS 624 - Data Warehousing. To see more info about my teaching background/experience or for info about my current classes See My Teaching Page.

Research

I have worked on research involving Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), sometimes in combination with some other artificial intelligence areas, especially learning. I am particularly excited about my recent work involving CBR and law enforcement. I published a paper at the International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning in Norway in summer 2003: Redmond, M

Redmond, M. & Line, C. (2003). Empirical Analysis of Case-based Reasoning and Other Prediction Methods in a Social Science Domain: Repeat Criminal Victimization. In Case-Based Reasoning Research and Development; Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning, Ashley, K. & Bridge, D. (eds), June 2003, Trondheim, Norway. Springer-Verlag

 

Because of copyrights I cannot post the paper here, but I have a picture from Norway that is

pretty awesome. I have also widened my research since coming to La Salle; my paper with Professors Tavana and Joglekar of the School of Business has been recently accepted for publication. For more info, see My Research Page.

Education:

I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech in 1992, completing my grand tour of the south. To see my educational background See My Education Page.

"Real World" Work Experience:

I worked for IBM in Charlotte, NC for 4+ years, and have been involved in "full life-cycle" ... See My Software Work Experience Page.
 

Languages:

I keep learning!! Visual Basic, Java, C++, C, Pascal, Lisp, PL/I, COBOL are all languages I've spent a fair amount of time with. The only languages that ever drove me insane were APL and ML, though at this point I'd hate to have to go back to C++.
 

Professional Affiliations:

Family

My wife, Susan Phillips , is the Physical Chemistry Lab Coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania. That's right, she's no longer an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Holy Family College , in Philadelphia. She had to leave after Jon and Cyndi left :-) Oh, and she doesn't believe in "Holy Family University"

BTW, She received her PhD from Georgia Tech in 1986, before I even started working on mine.

She has also taken up kickboxing (Frank, maybe this link will help you move up on Google!)

We were married at a church on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, in May 1990. (Oh my, 17 years!) We tell Bryan that Georgia is his ancestral homeland.

Bryan Redmond was born May 28, 1994. I can't believe he's 14! He asked me to change the link to remove his middle name in hopes that searching for him on Google would work as well with Bryan Redmond as with Bryan Phillips Redmond. His current life goal is to rule the world - he wants to emulate Bill Gates - Go Figure! He sent his first letter to the president in spring 2006 (about NCLB).

If I can brag (and it's my website, so why not?) He made the NJ state Geography Bee finals in 2008 (Burlington County Times article)

Other Interests

I like playing and watching sports, and rock music. My youthful idealism has faded, I don't think I've gotten involved in politics since I left Charlotte NC way back when (well, we put up yard signs for Election 2004). Click for more info, links, plus one of my favorite stories.
