For my PhD research, I have been working on investigating the limitations and potential of integrating various technologies into rehabilitation programs. I have been working with a  number of occupational and physical therapists at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to help increase patient enjoyment and compliance with rehabilitation activities. So far, I have been exploring Wii peripherals, virtual reality, multi-touch surfaces, tangibles, fabric-based computing, and low range RFID and have accumulated quite a collection of devices and prototyping products.

The majority of the blog will be a documentation of my experiences with technology-assisted rehabilitation (TAR) and human computer interaction (HCI). I will try to update it as much as possible, especially with youtube videos and pictures. Any questions or comments can always be emailed to me.

I am also always looking for eager high school or undergraduate students to work with me as interns or for ideas about course projects. Please check out the WISEST and HIP programs at the University of Alberta.
