I am currently generating geeks by teaching Computer Science at Lakeside School. I also have done quite a lot of consulting through Brickware focusing on Software Consulting and Artistic Endeavors. What can I say, it's two sides of my dual nature. I also am one of the B'nai mitzvah committee chairs for Shalom Sunday - the sunday school for the Secular Jewish Circle of Puget Sound.
I completed my Ph.D in Computer Science from
the University of Washington in March, 1998. My interests primarly
include Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer
Supported Collaboration (CSC), and Single Display Groupware (SDG), although
I am a self-proclaimed
graphics groupie.
My thesis is entitled "Cooperatively Controlled Objects In Support of Collaboration." Briefly, the goal of this project is to support highly synchronous collaborative interactions between multiple users in face-to-face or distant situations. My primary advisors were Steve Tanimoto, Alan Borning, and Earl Hunt. This research is an extension of the Mathematics Experiences Through Image Processing (METIP) project, the goal of which is to interest junior high school kids in mathematics using exploratory rather than rote learning methods.
