Dr. Bruce Mabis has lived in Evansville for the last 46 years. He started teaching Computer Science at UE in 1975. Dr. Mabis has taught at UE and three other universities all in the tristate area. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University in 1992, specializing in software engineering. Away from academics he enjoys time with his wife, three sons, and three grandkids. In his spare time he finds a little time to do things like cut firewood and perform magic whenever he gets the chance.
