Interests: Feedback and control in ubiquitous computing, context-aware computing, toolkits and end-user programming environments, sensor-rich environments, information overload, ambient displays, privacy, human-computer interaction. Current Projects: ambient displays, augmenting a wheelchair and its environment to enhance communication, designing user interfaces for the setting of privacy preferences in ubiquitous computing environments, programming support for context-aware and sensor-rich environments (toolkits and programming environments), and visualizations of sensor networks. Look here for an up-to-date list of my research interests. Current Status. I am an Assistant Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Past Work. I received a Bachelors of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada in 1993. I received a Masters of Science in AeroSpace Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1995. I received a 2nd Masters of Science and a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech in 2000. For my dissertation, I researched programming support for building context-aware applications: The Context Toolkit. I was a member of the Future Computing Environments research group in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. Gregory Abowd was my advisor. I was a Senior Researcher at Intel Research Berkeley from 2001-2004, where my title was Ubicomp Software Architect. At the same time, I was an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the EECS Department at UC Berkeley, where I was a member of GUIR, the Group for User Interface Research.
