Computer Science Faculty and Staff


Dr. Bruce A. Maxwell

Associate Professor and Chair

Dr. Maxwell started exploring computer science as an undergraduate at Swarthmore College, where he earned a B.A. in Political Science, a B.S. in Engineering, and a Concentration in Computer Science. He went on to obtain an M.Phil. in Speech Recognition at Cambridge University and a Ph.D. in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University. He taught for two years at the University of North Dakota and nine years at Swarthmore College before coming to Colby in the fall of 2007. His interests include robotics, computer vision, computer graphics, scientific data analysis and visualization.

Dr. Dale Skrien

Professor

Dale Skrien went to St. Olaf College where he received a B.A. in Mathematics. He continued his education at the University of Washington where he received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics. His dissertation concerned algorithmic graph theory or, more specifically, algorithms relating to interval graphs. He later picked up a M.S. degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois. He has been teaching at Colby since 1980. His interests have included object-oriented software design, educational software for computer organization courses, and computer music.

Dr. Stephanie Taylor

Assistant Professor

Stephanie started her academic life at Gordon College in Massachusetts as a double-major in math and computer science. She spent several years as a software engineer in Peabody, MA before she pursued her PhD in the exciting field of systems biology. In 2008 she completed her Ph.D. at U.C. Santa Barbara, where she developed computational methods to study biological clocks. She joined the Colby CS department in the fall of '08 and is having a blast teaching students how to use computer science techniques to learn about biological systems.

Brian Eastwood

HHMI Postdoctoral Fellow in Computer Science

Brian graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.S. in Physics and minors in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. He spent several years as a software engineering consultant in the financial services industry before attending graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His graduate research involved analyzing motion in biological microscopy videos. At Colby, Brian will continue research in image analysis, scientific computing, and visualization with applications in the natural sciences.
