Teaching:

ECE 5564: Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing (Next offering tentatively scheduled for Fall 2008)
ECE 4984: Industrial Design-Electrical and Computer Engineering Interdisciplinary Design Project (Next offering tentatively scheduled for Fall 2008)

Research:

Current funded projects:

CAREER: E-textile-based Wearable Computing for Sensing User Motions (Funded by the National Science Foundation)
Computing Research Infrastructure: Electronic Textiles for Wearable and Pervasive Computing (Funded by the National Science Foundation)

Past funded projects:

My areas of research include electronic textiles, wearable and pervasive computing, low power computing, and mobile computing.

A list of my papers, with postscript and PDF versions of some of them, as of spring 2001.
My CV in PDF, reasonably up to date as of January 2008.

I was general chair of the 2004 International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, and program co-chair in 2001 and 2006. ISWC 2008 will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I organized a workshop at ISWC 2007 on the Role of Design in Wearable Computing.

For other info, please see my old page at Carnegie Mellon. For my Ph.D. work at Carnegie Mellon, I integrated models of battery behavior and models of system performance in order to increase the amount of computing that can be performed in a battery life. The group I worked loosely with is the Wearable Computing Group in the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES).
