My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction and Physiological Computing. I spend large chunks of my time applying signal processing and machine learning to recognizing noisy signals, specifically those in or on the human body, and using them in interesting ways. However, I am a somewhat schizophrenic researcher and have worked on projects in many other domains.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 1996, after which I spent a couple of years building bridges and blowing things up in the Singapore Armed Forces. I later returned to Carnegie Mellon University, where I worked with Randy Pausch in his Stage 3 Research Group and earned my PhD in Computer Science in 2004. In 2007, I was honored as one of MIT Technology Review's Young Innovators Under 35 for my work in brain-computer interfaces.
