Livermore2Name: Jeffrey Alan Livermore
Title: Lecturer III
Department: CSEP – Computer Science & Information Systems

Classes I teach:

  • CSC 570: Cyber Security
  • CSC 580: Advanced Software Engineering

Research or Specific Areas of Interest:

  • I am fascinated by the intersection of ethical values and teaching Information Assurance.
  • I have spent years researching the implementation of agile software development methodologies. I love learning about how different organizations have been able to implement agile methods and integrate them into their business practices. It is one thing to understand the model and another to make it work.
  • I love researching better methods of teaching new technologies

  • Upsilon Pi Epsilon (computer science honor society)
  • Wayne State University Dean’s List

Degree(s)/Education:

  • BS in psychology from Wayne State University
  • MSA in Software Engineering Administration from Central Michigan
  • D. in Information Systems from Nova Southeastern University
  • I completed a post-doc fellowship in Information Assurance at the University of Maryland University College

Memberships:

  • Association for Computing Machinery
  • IEEE Computer Society
  • Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
  • Upsilon Pi Epsilon

How I fell in love with my field:

I was a business student at Wayne State when I was forced to take an introduction to computing course. I knew the moment that I got the first programming assignment to work that I was hooked.

What I hope for my time at UM-Flint:

I want to teach motivated students and continue my research. I am working on a book about applied encryption and would like to finish it within a year. I love living in Michigan and plan to retire here.

What I hope for students in my field:

  • I hope that they get jobs.
  • I hope that they love the field as much as I do.
  • I hope that they can make a contribution to the profession.

Three things you should know about me:

  • I have been happily married to the same woman since 1978
  • I have a love/hate relationship with Izzabella, our rescue greyhound
  • I love watching college lacrosse
