Prof Kevin M. Gleason
Kevin has over 30 years of experience combining computers and education. A long-time student of computer hacks and information breaches his lectures introduced disaster recovery analysis and preparation. An author of technical textbooks and a 2001 NASA/ASEE Summer Faculty Research Fellow at the NASA—Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt MD. In the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks, was the principle investigator of ‘psycho-metrics’ (a method of identifying the author through written text). Since 2002 serves on the programme committee for ECIW and ICIW conferences, he is currently semi-retired working as an adjunct professor to several colleges and a consultant to business in the Greater Boston Massachusetts area.
