Research Interests
HCI Research
At this point in time, my HCI research is focused on performance modeling of selection and aiming tasks in a variety of situations: while walking, while being distracted, while performing another cognitive task, and while being in a non-stationary environment. My investigation is principally experimental and has lead to several new models for predicting completion time of mobile phone dialing, virtual touch-based keyboard entry, and selecting targets using touch. Much of my current research in HCI is a continuation of my doctoral work under the guidance of Dr. Jesse Heines and Dr. Robert Pastel. The work has applicability in maritime systems, in-vehicle navigation systems, and mobile devices. |
Computer Science Education Research
I am interested in developing new approaches and tools that stimulate creativity and encourage discovery. Software Engineering Research My research in software engineering is primarily concerned with methodologies for developing software rapidly using agile risk-oriented, use-case driven, and architecture-centric approaches. I am particularly interested in the agile methodologies and the science of Scrum. |
