BC Technology Scholarship Fund
The Technology Scholarship Fund was designed to award non-repayable grants to
students with a passion for technology.
Scholarships will be awarded to students pursuing
studies in all related technology fields; marketing, sales, management, and computer science, etc.
In the past, a total of eight grants were awarded to qualifying students; applications
begin in the new year, awards are given in June.
Check the website for the next deadline.

Gallery of Student Projects for the Computing Science Department
An impressive array of projects have emerged from course work and Senior Project courses. I am just beginning to gather
some information on them to present here, but a beginning can be found at the
VIU Computing Science Student Project Page.
Job postings
As of Jan 25, 2011, I will post the information I receive from employers who are interested in hiring our graduates
on the Job Postings Web Page. Graduates can also link to me on LinkedIn to get
informed when I receive employment information, and just to stay connected and let us know what you're doing.
Research
My research interests include discrete algorithms, particularly algorithms for generating combinatorial objects.
But when an identity in need of a combinatorial
proof comes my way, I cannot resist trying to find it! I was successful with the Reed-Dawson identity. The results are below.
