In the early 1990s he was instrumental in turning the minor into a major in computer science and saw both the major and minor flourish. In 2012, he received the Slane Distinguished Teaching-Service Award. In 2018 he was part of a group of faculty that formed a new Department of Computer Science with several majors including a concentration in cybersecurity.   During his time at High Point University he has worked with students to complete many research projects which were presented at conferences associated with ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). Several of his students successfully developed apps for iPads and iPhones which were published on the Apple store. Every year he works with computer science students to preparation for the international ACM programming contest, hackathons and cybersecurity events.   His personal research interests include algorithms, operating systems, high performance computing and graphics at the undergraduate level. Professor Shore is passionate about working with students in any area of computing and strives to prepare them for graduate school or employment. He has mentored undergraduate students that continued into graduate school and finished master and PhDs in computer science from universities like University of Toronto, Carnegie Mellon, and Clemson University. His students have found employment at companies like Apple Computer, Microsoft, and Math Works Inc.

She chairs HPU’s Information Technology Advisory Committee composed of faculty, staff and members of HPU’s Office of Information Technology. Titus holds a Bachelor of Science in Physics and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Stetson University. She earned her PhD at North Carolina State University in Experimental Solid State Physics. She has been on the faculty at HPU for more than a decade, teaching physics, astronomy, mathematics, and computer science.   As an Electronic Materials Fellow at NCSU, Titus optically characterized II-VI semiconductor materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy in pursuit of developing blue lasers and laser diodes. She then spent 4 years as a Post-doc and Visiting Assistant Professor in Textile Engineering at the NCSU College of Textiles. Her work there, sponsored by Levi Strauss and the National Textile Consortium, focused on developing sensor technology for the apparel and airbag industries and resulted in 2 patents. Titus joined the HPU faculty as a physics and astronomy adjunct for two years before becoming a full time faculty member in the joint Department of Mathematics and Computer Science in 2007, teaching a variety of courses including computer programming, web development, Calculus I, II, and III, finite math, precalculus, and mathematical methods. She became a member of the new Department of Computer Science within the Webb School of Engineering in Fall 2018.   Titus has a passion for teaching students and assisting them in developing their programming skills. As an undergraduate she highly valued the accessibility that she had to faculty and is proud to work at an institution that shares the same value. Her current interests include Data Science and developing web-based interventions to assist beginning and intermediate computer science students with the challenges of coding.

He wishes to bring robotics to campus and create a computer science maker lab that will enable students and faculty to creatively use the latest technology to solve problems and take innovative ideas from concept to reality. Williams received his Bachelor of Science in philosophy from Vanderbilt University and his PhD in Computer Science from North Carolina State University.   Williams’s interests and expertise includes robotics as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual reality, and the latest technologies and hardware being used to create “The Internet of Things.” He is also interested in outreach aimed at bringing new and diverse populations into STEM fields. Williams’s previous work experience includes eight years at Shaw University where he served as the Department Chair of Computer Science, a researcher, and the program director for science and technology innovation. He also worked the summer of 2017 as a Faculty in Residence at Google’s Mountain View Headquarters. His accomplishments include founding the NSF-funded Innovation Lab for exploring robotics, drones, virtual reality and wireless sensor networks. He was awarded the “2017 STEM Educator of the Year” by the Research Triangle Park Foundation’s STEM in the Park Initiative.   “I try to work as much as possible with the some of the latest and coolest new technologies on the planet,” says Williams. “I find this interest is often widely shared by students, and incorporating the latest tech into my teaching can make learning lots of fun.” [post_title] => Lloyd Williams [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => lloyd-williams [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2021-08-30 13:47:00 [post_modified_gmt] => 2021-08-30 17:47:00 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://www.highpoint.edu/?p=97905 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => faculty-staff [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) )
