I conduct research in communication theory. I have served on the
faculty of the University of Illinois, Michigan State University,
and the State University of New York at Albany, where I was
Professor of Communication and Director of Research and Founding
Fellow of the Institute for the Study of Information Science. I was
the former Chair of the Department of Communication at the
University at Buffalo. I was a Senior Fellow at the East West
Center in Honolulu, a Fulbright scholar in the former Yugoslavia,
and Senior Fellow at the Rockefeller Institute of Government at the
State University of New York. I am the author of numerous books and
articles, including The Measurement of Communication Processes:
Galileo Theory and Method, with E. L. Fink. I am a principle
developer of extensive computer software, including the suite of
Galileo programs, which are widely used worldwide in academic,
political and private sector research for measuring attitudes,
beliefs, market positioning, and designing strategies for modifying
them, and CATPAC, a text analysis program utilizing artificial
neural technology. My current biography can be found in Who's Who
in America, Who's Who in Communication and the Media, and Who's Who
in The World.
