"My Life as a Frog" Subject of Faculty Forum

Posted on Friday, September 8, 2006

Dr. John Bonomo, Westminster associate professor of computer science, will present "A Problem-Filled Sabbatical or My Life as a Frog" Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.

"My talk will focus on two aspects of my fall 2005 sabbatical," Bonomo said. "I will discuss both the known problems I meant to focus on during my sabbatical, including the plan to create programming problems for the International Collegiate Programming Contest, and the unexpected problems that interfered with this endeavor."

Bonomo, who has been with Westminster College since 1998, earned his undergraduate and master's degree from Catholic University, and a master's and Ph.D. from Purdue University. Bonomo is a frequent judge at the annual International Collegiate Programming Contest World Finals. He was a regional judge for five years, and an international judge six times -- in Hawaii, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Prague, Texas, and Shanghai.

Faculty Forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.

The event is free and open to the public. Contact Bonomo at (724) 946-7287 or e-mail bonomojp@westminster.edu for more information.
