Dr. Schuurman has spent several years working in industry before returning to academia. Dr. Schuurman enjoys teaching and pursuing his research interests in the area of robotics and computer vision. He is also interested in the bigger picture (metaphorically, not in the number of pixels sense) and the various issues related to computer technology. As time allows, Dr. Schuurman is avaliable to share his thoughts on technology related issues to groups. He and his family live in Hamilton, Ontario.

He is a Professional Engineer (P. Eng.) in the province of Ontario and an adjunct associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at McMaster University.
