There was a lot of uncited and specific, personal information, (and prior to today's edits) in this article was written like a resume. I noticed in the edits history of this article there has been multiple new users, some with user names that suggest a connection to the subject, and they have been adding in the uncited details.

In cleaning up this article, I tried to simplify language for complex concepts. This article definitely needs more work and more citations, including better citations (preferably not published by Iowa State University or by van Leeuwen) see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources
