My research at Data Blueprint and at VCU has concentrated on the data engineering and the key role that data plays in organizational integration. I have secured funded research into real world data engineering problems from commercial and government organizations. People appreciate our collective efforts. The funding supports teams of student researchers with whom I leverage my research. Since 1989, more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students have worked more than 12,000 hours on funded research projects in conjunction with the Institute for Data Research. This has led to extraordinarily prepared graduates who have succeeded in academia as well as in industry consultants. They have received valuable research experience and been compensated at rates consistently between $15-35/hour. Hundreds of other students have participated in these research projects, integrating real world systems experiences with classroom learning opportunities. Students have responded enthusiastically, rating these classes as their most valuable learning experiences. This part of the website describes a
