Chris Lane has worked as a web and database programmer at OHSU, and he has also served as the director for online learning environments for an NIH grant involving both ethics and philosophy in medicine. He has given a variety of talks at local and national conferences, including discussions of the use of Hamming Codes in DNA analysis and the mathematics behind Google’s PageRank algorithm. He has been active in the AP Calculus Program, most recently serving as the international exam leader.

He has been teaching both mathematics and computer science at the undergraduate level at Pacific University since 1999, as well as statistics and mathematical finance in the MBA and MSF programs at Pacific since 2014.

Course Information

At Pacific University, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use graduate teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know the faculty in your discipline.
