Research Focus
My research focuses on using machine learning techniques to make predictions and as an aid in decision making. I’ve used these in a biomedical application in which electrical signals measured in a person’s forearm are used to recognize the grips or movements of the hand attached to the forearm. One obvious use is to help an amputee direct the movement of a prosthetic hand, a la Luke Skywalker. I’m also interested in the general area of software engineering, including programming, teaching programming, and software development management. I am currently teaching in that area but am not doing active research.
