Biography

Kurt's research covers the Holocaust history and aspects leading up to July 22, 1942. The historical studies move into education and then Computer Science by creating GIS based educational systems. These not only tech the Holocaust, but are also being explored for the Myaamia tribe's forced relocation from Indiana to Kansas to Oklahoma.

Research Interests

My current interests span two distinct areas. On campus, I love working with ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs as they learn to combine their courses, skills and interests to complete major programming projects. I especially enjoy seeing the big picture and how to take 40 years of industry work and use that to complete projects.

My secondary is research into the Holocaust. Especially the use of computer records during the Holocaust at the concentration camps and working with other researchers to find, digitize, and analyze those millions of records.
