Dr Bruce Gooch
Founder, Expressive Computer Graphics
Texas A&M
Dr. Bruce Gooch wasn’t your typical computer science student, for a start, he couldn’t code. However, he was studying with Computer Science Professor Elaine Cohen at the University of Utah, which gave him the space and encouragement he needed.
"Elaine gave me the skills and responsibility to pursue research in computer science. Now I help students make games and computer animations, at Texas A&M. Some of which have launched with great success.
I wouldn’t have done any of this, if it wasn’t for Elaine" - Dr. Bruce Gooch
