NACSE Research Staff

Although we develop tools and technology, NACSE revolves around people and how they use tools and technology to become more productive.

 

NACSE is led by Cherri M. Pancake, a Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at Oregon State University. Dr. Pancake also serves as Director of Computing & Networking for the College of Engineering.
