Paul Werstein

Academic History

I received a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston in 1971. I began working for Schlumberger, a multi-national company in the business of evaluating oil and gas wells using sophisticated electronic equipment. Among other positions, I managed computer-aided design systems and was DBA (database administrator) for product information systems.

While still working, I completed a MSc in Computer Science from the University of Houston in 1990. My research was in Knowledge-based Systems.

In 1995, I moved to New Zealand and began academic life. I joined the Department of Computer Science at Otago as a Lecturer.

I completed my PhD in 2003. My research was on tracking and indexing rapidly moving objects with repetitive motion. In 2004, I became a Senior Lecturer in the department.
