Lyle Reibling is a professor of computer science in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences at Azusa Pacific University. He has a B.S. in
Mathematics (with honors) from Lawrence Technological University, an
M.S. in Computer Science from Western Michigan University, and a Ph.D.
in Computer Science from Michigan State University. Reibling
is a member of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the IEEE
Computer Society.

Reibling held adjunct teaching positions at Michigan State
University, Grand Valley State University, and California State
University-San Marcos before coming to APU in 1999. He teaches courses in
computer architecture, object-oriented and systems programming, software
engineering, embedded systems and networking, and numerical analysis. He
also serves as the ACM faculty advisor and programming coach for the
undergraduate student chapter of the ACM.

Reibling's professional experience includes 24 years in the
aerospace and defense industry conducting research, development, and
application of computer science technology to engineering problems and
product development. His experience has been in real-time aircraft and
avionics simulators, high-fidelity graphics, distributed multiprocessing
systems, operating system internals, device drivers, and embedded
software for airborne processors. He has publications on speech
recognition, flight management systems, combinatorial optimization,
artificial intelligence, neural networks, and massively parallel computer
architectures, for which he holds a U.S. patent. He has been employed by
General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Texas, Smiths Industries (formerly
Lear-Siegler) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Center for Naval Analyses
in Washington, DC, and BAe Systems in San Diego, California.
