James (Randy) Moulic received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY, and his BSEE and MSEE degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Dr. Moulic is currently Associate Dean for Experiential Learning and Undergraduate Studies of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and served as the Acting Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the State University of New York at Albany.

He has played a leading role in defining, developing and refining electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science programs for the newly established engineering college at UAlbany, and preparing these programs for their initial ABET accreditation reviews.

Since 2013 he has served as a computer engineering program evaluator (PEV) for the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, and has  participated in more than six on-campus general program reviews.

From August 2012 to August 2016, Dr. Moulic was a member of the faculty of the College of Engineering at the University of Alaska-Anchorage(UAA), and served as a Professor of Computer Systems Engineering.

Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Alaska-Anchorage in 2012, Dr. Moulic was Senior Manager, and Research Staff Member at the IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, in Yorktown Heights, New York.

During a 39-year career at IBM, Dr. Moulic guided worldwide research activities for personal and mobile computing systems, and contributed to the development of numerous supercomputers, including the IBM Scalable Parallel Computers, the Los Alamos National Lab’s “Roadrunner;” IBM personal computers including the IntelliStation, as well as other IBM desktop PCs, and the ThinkPad TransNote laptop. He also participated in the development of technologies for computer and controlled laser personalization and manufacturing of VLSI circuits, and high speed analog and digital signal processing systems.

While at IBM, Dr. Moulic founded and directed the Deep Blue computer chess project, initiating the first exhibition match events with World Champions Gary Kasparov and Anotoly Karpov.

In 2005, he was recognized as an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to development of personal and high performance computing systems.

Dr.Moulic has authored many technical papers, and has over 40 issued patents. His research and teaching areas include digital electronics, computer architecture, VLSI systems, VHDL, assembly and parallel programming.
