It helped me realized that my friend really believed in something, and that giving your life for the CIA, NSA, FBI, Mossad, or other intelligence agency is truly a higher calling and not something to mourn. A wholehearted recommendation." - G Maxwell

PhD candidate | Arts & Humanities | History of Ideas
UT Dallas
School of Arts & Humanities
I am very happy to have been admitted to the University of Texas at Dallas to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in the History of Ideas program of the School of Arts and Humanities. My coursework started in the Spring 2013 semester.
Pursuing a doctorate of Humanities – History of Ideas at UT Dallas will provide me with the opportunity to research in depth and work on the vital challenge of creating a new methodology for trustworthiness (able to be relied on as honest or truthful) to ‘latch’ on to online content. This is a challenge that will enable me to complete my dedication to helping the public at large (as evidenced by my teaching, work with the Internet Society and educational publishing endeavors) by harnessing the ultimate power of today’s technology for the greater good.
ACADEMIC INTEREST
Ever since I had the vision to create Magellan, which became one of the very first Internet Yellow Pages in 1992, I have been ‘devoured’ by a strong sense of wanting to help the public have a ‘trusted internet-based methodology’ on which to gauge the trustworthiness of the information choices presented. Magellan online was featured on the home page of Netscape in the early 90s because it was really the first professional equivalent of a 'Michelin-style' guide to content on the Internet. In its day, my content review methodology – which included pioneering online professional curation – was a unique process that ‘set the bar’ for all other search engines to follow. (Magellan was successfully acquired by the search engine company EXCITE in 1996.)
The process that I created and developed at that time was in some ways a precursor to the work that I wish to do for my Ph.D. However, the technology then was not able to support scalability nor was it speedy or accurate enough to enable a peer review process of a very different methodology from what we know today.
After Magellan, I searched for a next generation source code that would have the potential for highest scalability and have the capability to perform unusual kinds of search analytics. Toward that end I started a new company called Chiliad (
www.chiliad.com), which is Greek for "New Millennium". This company has a unique iterative discovery capability. Built with a Bayesian network backend and running on natural language, I now have an enabling technology that can be partnered with a new methodology invention around expert human peer review. The coupling of these two elements can potentially lead through research and trial, to a whole new way for ‘trust transparency’ to happen to Internet content. That is my academic interest in working toward a Ph.D.
On a personal level, the application of such technology could potentially make a tremendous contribution to combating Holocaust denial and society’s understanding of the uniqueness of the Holocaust relating to the extermination of the Jews by the Nazis during World War II. The Holocaust as an area of study is uniquely relevant to have such research applied to its subject matter. Revisionism today is very insidious – and the online world makes it even more easy to be so. It is becoming ever more important for the public to be made aware of the semantic value of terms and at the same time to be made easily aware of WHO is behind the changes in value of semantics to given terms in a subject domain – with the ultimate goal being the evaluation and creation of a system of objectification of criteria in the evaluation of ’trustworthiness’ online.
