Marc Smith, Assistant Professor, earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Central Florida. He worked for AT&T for fifteen years, in several different IT capacities, during which time his Ph.D. studies were sponsored by AT&T’s Doctoral Support Program. His research spans elements of theoretical and experimental computer science, in the area of parallel and distributed computation. His interests include models of concurrency, bioinformatics (specifically, computational phylogeny), and programming languages (semantics, paradigms, and unifying theories).

Elle Gohl, formally, is a Computer Technical Specialist and the Computer Science Department liason. Informally, she is the heart and soul of the Department, and perhaps the most helpful person you will ever meet.
She has been with Vassar College since 1979. Ms. Gohl has a B.A. from Vassar in Religion/Women’s Studies and a certificate of Ministry with emphasis on Peace and Justice from Maryknoll School of Theology. Her research interest is late twentieth-century women and their spirituality within the organized religious structures of mainstream Christianity.
Greg Priest-Dorman, Systems Administrator and Lab Coordinator. Greg came to Vassar as a student in 1978 and began working in the Computer Science Department that Fall. He returned to the department in 1992 as a part time Faculty Research Associate and became our full time Sys Admin shortly there after.
