My areas of specific expertise are: (1) human-robot interaction (2) building experiments and studies, especially complex web-based ones, and, more broadly, (3) human-computer interaction & user experience evaluation, design, & development.
I have worked on human-computer interaction projects for a number of small businesses, research projects, and startup companies, as well as one I started, ReserveSport LLC (since retired to open source). I've led development of several software packages and web applications that have had tens of thousands of users, including a state of the art web survey package, the Web Survey Toolbox, which is used for online research around the world. Until August 2006, I was a Senior Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University, where I've published several papers about Human-Robot Interaction, with several more in the works.
