Biography
Ronald J. Glotzbach is an Assistant Professor for the Interactive Multimedia Development area in the Department of Computer Graphics Technology at Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus. He is also the Purdue football e-Stadium Application Manager for ITaP. He earned his B.S. in Computer Graphics Technology, holds a M.S. in Technology and plans to earn a Ph.D. in Political Science and Education. He also serves as the Faculty Advisor for the Purdue University ACM SIGGRAPH Student Chapter. Ronald served as the SIGGRAPH 2004 Conference Student Volunteer Chair and was selected to serve as the SIGGRAPH 2005 Conference Student Volunteer Chair. Being selected for back-to-back terms is atypical and an honor. The total term lasts from April 2003 through October 2005. He was awarded the honor of Outstanding Professor in 2003 at the CGT Spring Banquet. He was once again awarded the honor of Outstanding Professor in 2004 at the CGT Spring Banquet.
Professor Glotzbach has worked for The Boeing Company in St. Louis, Missouri in both the Technical Publications department and Software Engineering. The majority of his time was spent as a software engineer working on the F-15 Distributed Mission Trainer. He has also worked for Microsoft Corporation as a Software Test Engineer on various teams including the XML Documents Testing Team, a part of Office.NET.
Ronald’s research interests include leading-edge technologies that expand the boundaries of dynamic and interactive content delivered and collaborated on via the graphical communication tool that is the web. Related interests include web-enabling software, dynamic content delivery methods, programming graphics, and integration of varying media into highly technological solutions.
