A Dartmouth team of computing researchers was awarded a $1.6 million grant
that enabled them to develop applications that would revolutionize the way
colleges and universities conducted academic business.
Public keys are a method of cyber-encryption often used by the e-commerce
industry. The team developed more secure and effective systems for
university-based PKI. It was designed to make it easier to identify and
authorize people who wanted to use network resources.

psychology course where his students eagerly participated. In addition to
lively discussions, the sound of tapping PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants),
connected by the wireless network, were prevalent.

contributed to his ongoing research on how to better understand how people
learn and what educational methods worked best.
