PAUL LOUIS PASSALACQUA 6023 Suzanne Drive Toledo, Ohio 43612 (419) 476-3806 CAREER Software development for medical/scientific applications, with INTEREST particular interest in graphics, artificial intelligence and simulation. EDUCATION M.S. degree: Computer Science Bowling Green State University 8/90 Master's Research Project: Developed a 3-D graphical simulation of the human knee for use in medical education and diagnostics. Specifically: Using a Macintosh II, traced anatomical regions of interest over Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan slices. Ported tracings to a Sun Workstation for geometric modeling, then to a PIXAR Image Computer for final color smooth-shaded surface rendering and animation. Developed a hypertext project compendium. Work was completed using the computer facilities at B.G.S.U. and the Image Analysis Research Center at the Medical College of Ohio. Graduate Studies: Biology 20 semester hours co-operative enrollment 1984 - 87 GPA: 3.62 The University of Toledo/ Bowling Green State University Professional Studies: Medicine The Medical College of Ohio 1981- 84 B.S. degree: Chemistry, Biology, Spanish The University of Toledo 1977 GPA: 3.42 SPECIAL * Languages: IBM BAL & JCL, C, UNIX, Lisp, COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, SKILLS S/Pascal, Modula-2, HyperTalk & SuperTalk, SNOBOL, APL, VAX DBMS, AND SQL, CASE Tools. KNOWLEDGE * Hardware: IBM 4381 and 3081 (MVS/XA), Digital VAX 8530 (VMS), VAX 2000, VAX 780/785 (UNIX), Sun Workstation, PIXAR, Macintosh and IBM PC. * Familiar with various graphics, DBMS, communication, word- processing and spreadsheet software packages. * Extensive background in theoretical/clinical principles of medical science. * Microscopy and biological/chemical laboratory techniques. * Statistical methods (including use of SAS Statistical Software). * Good communicative skills in both English and Spanish. COLLEGE * Graduate Assistantships in Computer Science and Biology. HONORS * Academic Scholarships (Alumni Foundation and University of Toledo). AND * Six quarters on Dean's List, Graduated cum laude. ACTIVITIES * Advisor for Medical Explorers and volunteer tutor. * Alpha Epsilon Delta national Premedical honorary society. * Phi Delta Epsilon national academic Medical fraternity. * Membership in the Association for Computing Machinery, SIGBIO, SIGGRAPH. * Administrated medical student note-taking service: Required problem-solving and group leadership skills to oversee entire note- service operation, handle complaints and serve as liaison between faculty and approximately 300 medical students. * Worked on five person team using CASE Tools to complete software analysis and design of microbiology laboratory inventory system. Served as communication link between project sponsor and other group members. As an independent project, completed real-time analysis and design of telephone answering system. * Developed hypertext application to test short-term color recall ability in auditory vs visual presentation modes. WORK B.G.S.U. - Graduate Assistant, Computer Science 8/89 - 8/90 HISTORY Grading and consulting for nine sections of programming language courses (IBM Assembler, COBOL, software packages). Also served as general programming consultant, analyzing problems and offering solutions related to Assembler as well as several other programming languages and software packages. B.G.S.U. - Graduate Assistant, Biology 5/89 - 8/89 Completed design and implementation of a data base inventory system for the Midwest Drosophila Stock Center; modified the existing database package to comply with standard genetic nomenclature and meet user requirements. The Toledo Hospital - Microbiology Laboratory Technician 1/89 - 6/89 Updated laboratory data base with requested laboratory tests, aerobic and anaerobic specimen culturing and staining, prepared culture media, answered inquiries regarding results. Chemical Abstracts Service - System Support Programmer 9/88 - 12/88 Co-op. Performed maintenance programming concurrent with an in-depth training program which covered the following: all phases of program development (including the Jackson Method of Design), VAX UNIX, IBM JCL and Utilities, IBM Assembler programming, the IBM Time Sharing Option, turn-over of code for testing/production and CAS Standards and Procedures. The Toledo Hospital - Orthopedic Orderly 9/77 - 1/89 Patient care, transport, special procedures (e.g. catheterization, enema administration); frequently solely responsible for traction, cast, and brace application and maintenance throughout entire 700 bed hospital; orientation and training of new orderlies. The U.S. Postal Service - Mail Carrier 5/88 - 7/88 Casing and delivery of mail employing professional public relations. Compact of Toledo - Sales Representative 6/76 - 9/76 Canvassing for sales, demonstration and sales of sweepers as well as training of new employees; promoted from demonstrator to sales representative within first month. The University of Toledo / The Medical College of Ohio Work-study positions: Audio-Visual assistant (1981 - 84), Usher (1977), Print Shop (1973 - 77) and Biology Research/lab assistant (1972 - 73).
