Biography
Chris has been a faculty member at UWT since 2013. In his time at UWT he has been a leader in undergraduate education, winning the SET Outstanding Teaching Award in 2022. Chris is also a leader in undergraduate research with several publications in collaboration with undergraduate students.
In collaboration with Tom Capaul, Chris runs the local Puget Sound Programming Competition twice a year. University and high-school students from around Washington compete for fun and bragging rights. In addition, Chris and Tom also run the ICPC Pacific Northwest Region and have hosted regional contests at UWT since 2021.
