Research Grants and Projects
• VisibleZ Emulator for Mainframe Assembler, collaboration with Dr. David Woolbright, 2011-2015.
Designing and implementing of a PC-based mainframe emulator VisibleZ. VisibleZ emulator acts as an interactive
visualization tool to simulate enterprise computer architecture. VisibleZ simulates IBM's z/Architecture and and allows
direct interpretation of mainframe assemply language object code in a graphical interface environment developed in Java.
• CM-TDSS (Cognitive Maps Tactical Decision Support System) project, Department of Defense grant of $1.6 million,
Co PI, until 2010-2012.
• STEADI (Simulation Technology Education Assisting the Defense Industry) Modeling and Simulation grant,
Co PI, 2009 – 2011.
• Multichannel Course Management Systems, 2006 – 2008
