Daniel Plante
Associate Professor of Computer Science
My formal education has been both in physics and computer science, and I enjoy teaching and working with students on research projects that cover the broader areas of Web application development, software engineering, mobile application development, artificial intelligence, computational science and security. I also enjoy crossing disciplinary boundaries and collaborating with students and faculty in mathematics, business, economics and other fields which require a computational approach.
I believe students learn best by actively performing tasks associated with the material we are covering rather than passively listening to me lecture. My classes tend to require students to engage during class by working through problems, designs and development of software.
