Dr. Paul D. Wiedemeier is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and
joined the faculty at The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM)
in the fall semester 2005.
Prior to that time, from 1999 through 2005,
he was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Columbia College of Missouri.
He was also employed by the University of Missouri - Columbia from 1995 through 1998 as an Adjunct Instructor of Computer Science.
Dr. Wiedemeier holds
a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from
the University of Missouri - Columbia,
a M.S. in Computer Science from Michigan Technological University,
and a B.S. in Computer Science from Drake University.
Dr. Wiedemeier's primary research is focused on data communications and computer networking.
His current research interest lies in the modification of
Open Systems Interconnect transport, network, and data link layer protocols to
improve data transmission performance
while continuing to provide reliable data transmission.
The data communication protocols he has designed specifically decrease the time required to transmit medical imagery over high latency
and/or high delay network topologies,
such as low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites.
He is presently evaluating the performance of his protocol designs when use to transmit medical imagery over high frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF), and ultra high frequency (UHF) simplex packet radio networks.
While at ULM, Dr. Wiedemeier's research has been published in the following venues:
the International Engineering Consortium Annual Review of Wireless Communications,
the International Engineering Consortium Annual Review of Communications,
the Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Aerospace Conference,
the Proceedings of the Amateur Radio Relay League and Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Corporation Digital Communication Confernce,
and the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges.
Additionally, Dr. Wiedemeier has taught the following courses at ULM:
CSCI 462 - Data Communications,
CSCI 440 - Internet Systems Management,
CSCI 412 - Computer Architecture,
CSCI 411 - Operating Systems,
CSCI 340 - Internet Programming,
CSCI 310 - Organization of Programming Languages,
CSCI 253 - Computer Organization and Assembly Language Programming,
CSCI 200 - Introduction to Programming,
CSCS 167 - Software Applications, and
CSCI 163 - Computer Science for the User.
Dr. Wiedemeier is a member of
the Association for Computing Machinery,
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers,
the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges,
the Amateur Radio Relay League,
the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Corporation,
and the Louisiana Academy of Sciences.
He also holds a Technicians Amateur Radio License
(KE5LKY)
issued by the United States Federal Communications Commission.
When not at work, Dr. Wiedemeier enjoys spending time with
his lovely wife,
Dr. Allison M.D. Wiedemeier
(ULM's Biology Department),
and his two sons Connor James and Adam Davis.
He also enjoys fishing, swimming, gardening, amateur radio,
and reading science fiction/fantasy and American Civil-War non-fiction.
