   About Ted Crovello:
   
   o Ted was born and raised in a foreign country: Brooklyn, New York!
   
   o While a senior in high school, a distant cousin invited him to spend a weekend in the New Jersey Pine Barrens to help plant tree seedlings for forestry research; this was a turning point in his life. He went on the State University of New York's College of Forestry in Syracuse for his bachelor's degree.
   
   o At U.C. Berkeley, his Ph.D. research involved one of the first uses of computers to help to classify plant species.
   
   o Moving to the faculty at The University of Notre Dame, he developed effective uses of computers in education and to solve research problems in biogeography and plant classification. He also developed computer data bases using museum collections
   
   o Ted's field research has included studies in Kenya to control mosquito populations without chemicals in coastal villages; and in Central Asia to study endangered species and environments.
   
   o He has taught or given research presentations in various countries, including Argentina, China, Finland, Russia and Venezuela
   
   o Ted has written or co-edited five books, translated a book from Russian to English and published over 80 articles in biological research and education
   
   o He spent a year at Stanford University studying artificial intelligence (1985-86); [he figured that he needed all the help he could get, and that artificial intelligence was better than none!.]
   
   o In 1987 he came to California State University, Los Angeles as Dean of Graduate Studies and Research and Professor of Biological Sciences;
   
   o Retiring from the university a few years early, he is currently a higher education consultant and lecturer, both in China and the United States.
   
   o Ted's first trip to China was to Xinjiang in 2001, as Cal State L.A.'s "Campus Coordinator for China Activities." He has been to China seven times since 2001.
