El Garrett

I have finally completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Auburn University. I must now be addressed in all correspondence as Dr. Garrett, or El Garret the Great, if you prefer. You may also want to visit my professional page.

The picture above was taken on May 10, 2008 at my graduation. I'm standing with my advisor, Dr. Gerry Dozier. Dr. Dozier was a huge help throughout the dissertation process, and he now serves as the department head in the Computer Science department at North Carolina A&T University.

El's Music

Below is one of my playlists on Finetune. I typically prefer singer-songwriters like Patty Griffin, Steve Earle, Ryan Adams, and most notably El Jefe, himself, Bruce Springsteen. Finetune is a really nice streaming music site, by the way. If you've never checked it out, you should give it a look.
