Adrian Heinz

Dr. Heinz is a professor of information technology at Georgia Gwinnett College. He holds a systems engineering degree from Catholic University of Cordoba, Argentina and Masters of Science and Doctor of Education degrees with a major in computer science from Ball State University. Heinz’s primary interests include programming in C#, Visual Basic .Net, Java and web development using HTML, JavaScript, ASP and Adobe Flash. Other interests are E-learning, software engineering, social networking, computer graphics and graph theory.

His teaching philosophy places students at the center of the learning process by creating a pleasant environment, where everyone is encouraged to participate, discuss ideas and work with peers. In this way, students learn to solve problems, express their views and acquire critical thinking skills. He is also a strong supporter of the use of technology in education and always strives to incorporate the latest technological trends into the classroom.

During his academic career, Heinz has worked on a variety of research projects in the areas of graph theory, model checking and E-learning. Part of his research work in the first two areas has led to the publication of several papers and presentations in national and international conferences including Boca Raton (Florida); Vienna (Austria); Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) as well as Tamil Nadu (India).
