About me
I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at York College of Pennsylvania.
You can refer to my projects page for information about some of the projects I am currently working on, or have previously worked on.
Greg Link and I did a tutorial presentation at CCSCE 2010 about teaching embedded systems using AVR microcontrollers. Here are the slides.
My useful code web page has links to various bits of useful code that I have written. All of the code is free software.
My publications web page has links to most of my publications.
I occasionally write things in my blog. [Note: it contains my opinions only, not anyone else's.]
Bio
I was born in Syracuse,
NY
and grew up in Fayetteville,
NY. I attended Earlham
College, where I received a
B.A. in Computer Science in 1994. After 4 years as a software
developer (including a stint at Cigital)
I started graduate school
at the University of
Maryland, where
I received an M.S. (2001) and Ph.D. (2005) in Computer
Science.
My graduate advisor was Bill Pugh.
During the 2005-6 academic year I was a Visiting Assistant Professor of
Computer Science at Vassar
College.
In Fall 2006 I joined the faculty at York
College of Pennsylvania.
I live in Spring Garden Township, PA with my wife Kate Swope and our sons Eli and Gus.
The name "Hovemeyer" is most likely from the German "Hofmeier", which
means
"farm steward". I don't know anything about farming, though.
