I have a complaint about Dr. Victor Demjanenko a SUNY Buffalo ECE professor and partner of John Blum of VoCal Technologies in Amherst NY. I worked with Dr. Demjanenko while at SUNY Buffalo/CEDAR with Dr. Srihari's group. During the time I worked for Srihari, Demjanenko (Among others) made some very telling and off commentary while working there. On one occasion Dr. Demjanenko asked me if I had prepared a will. It seems I was going to need it since I was going to die. Another time I solved a particularly challenging problem and was rewarded with the left handed complaint from Demjanenko, "That was not in the script". At one point when talking to Demjanenko, Fenrich, and John Blum, Blum commented how he had built a shell corporation called "Comma" and that this would make some people paranoid. Other times I would come into the office and Demjanenko would confront and accost me with his "I was looking for you, where were you??" complaint. It seemed since I worked often till 2am or sometimes until 8am, would go home and sleep sometimes until ten or eleven, I was somehow supposed to read Dr. Demjanenko's mind so I could make myself available for his eminence and royal highness 24/7 should he feel a need to quizz me about something. This all is something of a problem given the fact I am a victim of violence and was then in the late 1990's, and this commentary was COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE. I later had my spouse who I met at CEDAR attempt to murder me in 2003, and it would seem making threats of harm and death to those who've nearly been killed and who would be nearly murdered again is no more than telling them you are part of the group of folks who'd put you in your grave. Just prior to my wife making her final attempts to murder me in spring of 2003, I interviewed with VoCal since I had left Srihari after a decade of abuse and other harm including work weeks in excess of 100 hours. During that time I met with Dave Jamison, Victor Demjanenko, and John Blum in what I later found out was a locked room. During the time they wanted to make an offer and were discussing salary, I refused to name a price to which John Blum who was sitting across from me at the table became violently angry, he hissed loudly and swung his fist in the air at me. I have to say I was stunned and shocked. I could not wait to be let out of the locked room by Mr. Jamison.
Some years later in 2006, I considered maybe I'd approach them again since it was clear I was going to end up homeless, having to resign another position at Raytheon where I had a supervisor also assault me. There Roger Goode tripped me as I went down a staircase at Diehl in Ueberlingen Germany. I returned from Europe simply because Blum and Demjanenko promised me a position. Once I came all the way back at my expense, they essentially jerked me around, and never made good on their promise, failing to offer me a salary, expecting me to start working for free and with no offer in hand, then having David Jamison demanding that I honor my commitments.....neat trick that, accuse people of what you do to them. Victor went on to say he'd be afraid of hiring me lest I be "Paranoid". I tell you, after being nearly killed by more than one person and having his associate nearly punch me, I guess being "Paranoid" really is not the dysfunction it would seem.
I have heard from others that Demjanenko does this even to his graduate students who need work, money, and of course good grades. These people are crooks and I'd not invest in them at all.
