Research

*** If you are wondering if I would be a good fit to review a paper, I am comfortable reviewing: ***

  • Pen computing (including touch and stylus latency, unintended touch / palm rejection, etc.)
  • Digital fabrication and creativity support tools (systems to help novices more so than new 3D printing techniques)
  • Livestreaming and social media
  • Mobile computing (smartwatches, tablets, and mobile phones more so than head-mounted wearables)
  • Applications of technology to physical and occupational therapy or rehabilitation
