My name is Margarette
Connor, and I'm a native of the New York City area. While
earning my PhD at the City University of New York's Graduate
School and University Center, I taught language and
literature courses for both the City University and for
State and private colleges in New York. When I completed my
degree, I accepted a position as associate professor of
English literature at Fu Jen University in Hsinchuang. While
there I taught a number of courses, especially in my
specialty, Restoration and 18th Century British Literature.
I left Taiwan and Fu Jen with a heavy heart after only three
years. I ended up in Geneva, Switzerland, where I taught for
Webster University and worked on the Board of Directors of
the American Library. After four years there, I have landed
in a small village in Sweden. From here, I teach on-line for
Fu Jen. I?™m also teaching here in Sweden at Linköping
University?™s Institute for Language and Culture, both in the
undergraduate English department and in the Master?™s in
European Cultures and Languages program.
My hobbies are reading
mystery novels, going to see films, hiking in the forests
around here and travel. I live in Sweden with my Swedish
husband, my son Matt, who still misses Taiwan, a very silly
cat, and a Swedish dog, who can't speak English.
I received my B.Sc degree in mathematics in 1981
from Indore University, India, and the MS degree in computer
science in 1994 from De Paul University, Chicago, USA. In the
year 2001, I received my Ph.D from the University of Alabama
in Huntsville (UAH) in the department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering (ECE). I also worked as a research assistant while
working on my Ph.D in Alabama. I am currently doing my research
in the area of computer architecture, parallel programming,
distributed computing and multithreaded programs. I also regularly
teach Technical writing course in the graduate school of Applied
Science and Engineering (ASE). It has been my interest to prepare
the students to write on their own some quality conference and
journal papers. I also regularly invite distinguished Professors
to share with the young scholars about the methodology of doing
research.
