Here is a sample of the students Bart is working with currently and has worked with in the past at Portland State. This list is not kept up-to-date at all. Undoubtedly, crucial people have been missed. If you think you should be on this list, drop me some email and I'll add you.

Current Doctoral Students

• Deen Bhuricha Sethanandha is working on patch management in open source projects. He hopes to complete his Ph.D. in 2012.
• Rob Stites is working on open source tools for forensic image processing. He is currently on leave from the Ph.D. program, partly to pursue a business venture I instigated and am invoved in around breath alcohol measurement.
• Josh Triplett is a Ph.D. student of Prof. Jonathan Walpole with whom I work closely. He expects to complete his Ph.D. in 2011.

Current Masters Students

• Ian Romanick is working on performance of software-based rendering of textures in 3D graphics. He expects to complete his M.S. in 2011.
• Julian Kongslie is a student I work closely with. He is currently starting as a M.S. student with Dr. Ivan Sutherland. They are working on tools for a novel asynchronous parallel hardware architecture.
• Josh Dorothy is working with me on a (currently) non-thesis project involving the NetPBM suite of tools.
• Jim Larson is working with me and a couple of other students on a (currently) non-thesis project involving the design and programming of high-performance digital radios.

Current Undergraduate Students

• Hong Quach expects to complete his CS Honors Thesis with me in 2011. He is working on Web Application User Authentication Management.

Past Doctoral Students

• Robert Bauer is Prof. Jim Hook's student, but has been a close collaborator, colleague, and friend of mine for many years. He is working on formal models of program memory and concurrent execution. He is currently on leave from the Ph.D. program.
• Prof. Su Hui Chiang's student Sangsuree Vasupongayya worked on search algorithms for declarative supercomputer scheduling. She started as my Ph.D. student, and we worked jointly on her dissertation for much of its duration. Sangsuree defended in 2008.
