                              and other technologies to support research and teaching 
                              duties. Developed hardware interfaces to investigate 
                              new modes of computer interaction. Examples projects 
                              include architecting an OpenGL based 3D windowing 
                              system, constructing a liquid input pad for two 
                              handed interaction, and building a programmable 
                              online multiplayer game based on a classic video
