I am originally from west Michigan and attended Hope College in Holland, MI. I double-majored in Math and Computer Science. I went on to pursue a master\u2019s degree in Computer Science from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. I finished my <a href=\"https:\/\/smartech.gatech.edu\/handle\/1853\/16215\">Ph.D. at Georgia Tech<\/a> in July of 2007.<\/p>\n<p>For two years I worked as a software developer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ironcad.com\">IronCAD<\/a> in Atlanta, GA. Then I moved to Kansas City to teach Computer Science and Math at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benedictine.edu\/academics\/departments\/math-cs\/\">Benedictine College<\/a> in Atchison, Kansas. After six years at Benedictine I was granted tenure, but I left in 2015 to teach in the Computer Science Department at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sxu.edu\/academics\/programs\/computer-science\/\">Saint Xavier University<\/a> in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>I am interested in all fields of computer science, but I am particularly interested in computer graphics and computer science education. I am interested in how humans can use computers to relate to information, from data representation through data visualization to knowledge transfer.<\/p>\n<p>My hobbies focus on games of all types, particularly video games and board games. I don\u2019t like to exercise but I do it regularly for health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is just a short excerpt for the about&nbsp;page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":110,"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21\/revisions\/110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanderhyde.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
