Dr. Don Rose

Technical Writer, Copywriter, and Editor in Los Angeles, CA

Welcome to my About.me page, featuring my bio and links (coming soon) to various media/projects.

First, some background. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Irvine where, in addition to AI and Machine Learning (my main focus), I studied natural language processing and the programming of language generation systems. My dissertation ("Belief Revision and Scientific Discovery") examined how scientists use data to generate theories and then, upon finding anomalies, must often revise or reprocess initial data. At UCI, I wrote programs in multiple languages (e.g., LISP and PRISM, a rule-based AI language), then developed AI programs at post-UCI jobs (AI Researcher at USC-ISI and Software Engineer at Rockwell and NASA).

I also have extensive experience writing about computer and Internet technologies. I've authored or co-authored 4 computer books and 12 technical papers for journals and conference proceedings, and was a Segment Producer and Head Writer for a Discovery Channel TV show about computers, the Web, wired celebs, and technology ("CyberLife"). This led to other scriptwriting roles for nonfiction TV shows on major networks (TBS, TLC, and Animal Planet).

More recently, I served as a contributing writer to a major tech website (BYTE), consulting writer/editor at WME and Harman International, and Technical Copywriter for several leading companies, including Capital Brands (maker of health and nutrition products), SecureLink (a cybersecurity company), Humana (a Fortune 500 healthcare company), Fair.com (a major startup in the auto space), Maize Marketing, ISLE (an AI / Machine Learning research institute), and others. In addition, I co-wrote a book on Science Informatics and served as Editor-in-Chief for several websites, including AI Daily.

Strengths include: out-of-the-box ideas, strong attention to detail, wide-ranging interests/expertise, excellent Web research skills, experience with several programming languages, and an eagerness to learn new tools.
