Biography: Dr. Lisa Purvis is a research scientist at the Xerox Corporation in Rochester, NY. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut in 1995 in the areas of case-based and constraint-based reasoning in design. Before pursuing her Ph.D., she worked as a software developer at IBM in Connecticut for 5 years. After her Ph.D., she worked as a researcher in bioinformatics at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine for a year, and then moved to work at Xerox in Rochester, NY. She has been working at Xerox on various research and development projects involving constraints, such as constraint-based scheduling and constraint-based document creation.
