The emerging field of using computers to understand the brain by simulating learning and thinking captivated him, culminating in a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence in Computer Science.
Ernie's interests evolved from doing research to building systems. He started working for Univac, the company that had built one of the first commercial computers. This marked the beginning of a long and varied career in the computer field, working on large mainframe computers, personal computers and network systems. His expertise spanned software development for academic and scientific research, business and financial applications, data communications, computer hardware products and the Internet.
Ernie never lost his fascination with computers. After he retired he began writing, sharing insights and interesting discoveries that are not widely known or understood outside of the computer field.view less
