Dr. Carlton joined the faculty of Cal Poly Pomona in fall 2006 from the University of Hawaii, where he earned his MBA and Ph.D. and taught undergraduate and graduate courses in the College of Business Administration. In keeping with Cal Poly Pomona's “learn-by-doing” approach, he uses a teach-by-doing approach in the field of computer forensics, in addition to conducting research and publishing within this field. He is also a practitioner with an active caseload.
