Richard Fox, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Richard Fox, Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director, Department of Computer Science, has been with NKU since 2001. His primary courses are: Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Artificial Intelligence, Computer Architecture, Computer Systems, Data Structures and Algorithms, Concepts of Programming Languages. He also teaches Social Implications of Computing, Object-Oriented Programming I & II, Computer Concepts and Applications.
Prior to coming to NKU, he taught nine years in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas - Pan American. He received a PhD in Computer Science in 1992 from Ohio State University (specialization in Artificial Intelligence), a master's degree in computer science from OSU in 1988 and a bachelor's degree in computer science from The University of Missouri - Rolla, in 1986. Fox received an Outstanding Teaching Award in 2000 from UTPA. He's written two computer literacy lab manuals, been involved with a data mining group that worked on intelligent search engines and worked on projects like nutritional meal planners, automated music creation and program debugging systems.
"I teach because I really love teaching and explaining things, and because I like academia and working on new things every day." When he was younger though, he wanted to be an astronaut at first, and later a rock star. Little known facts: he doesn't own a home computer. "I use computers every day; I don't want to work in front of one at night." He recorded a CD in 1998 and has been a vegetarian for 10 years.
