E. James Whitehead is Professor and Chair[1] of Computational Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz, United States. He served as the Chair of the Computer Science department University of California, Santa Cruz from 2010-2014.[2] He received a BS in Electrical Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1989, and a PhD in Information and Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine, in 2000.
Previously, he performed hard, real-time firmware development as a software engineer for Raytheon, 1989–1992. From 1996–2004, Whitehead created and led the Internet Engineering Task Force working group on Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning,[3][4] and is considered the "father" of the WebDAV protocol.[citation needed] He is author on over 50 peer-reviewed articles on software engineering and hypertext systems, and seven Internet standards (RFC) documents.[2]
Whitehead led the creation of the BS Computer Science: Computer Game Design degree program at UC Santa Cruz, the first game oriented degree program within the University of California system.[2] He is also working with the Expressive Intelligence Studio as an advisor.[5] Jim is a Professor of Computational Media, he works in research in the fields of software evolution, software bug prediction, and automated generation of computer game levels.
