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.

My research in software engineering is primarily concerned with methodologies for developing software
rapidly using risk-oriented, use-case driven, and architecture-centric approaches. I am particularly interested
in the agile methodologies.
