I am always interested in working with MSE students on capstone projects. Below are instructions for proposing a project to me, as well as projects I am interested in working on.

Proposing a project: I'm happy to advise projects in any number of areas. While my specialty is human-computer/human-robot interaction, your capstone does not necessarily need to be in that domain. If your project idea requires specialized knowledge in a domain I am not proficient in (e.g., parallel computing), I may suggest you seek out another advisor, or at least be aware that I will be of limited help during your capstone if you run into problems in that domain. If you are still interested in working with me, please put together a two page document outlining your project's goal, envisioned functionality, required algorithms/technologies, and your familiarity with said algorithms/technologies. You can then email this document to me, and after I have had a chance to look over it, I will email you to set up a meeting and discuss whether I am a good fit to advise your project.

Projects I am interested in: I am broadly interested in the areas of human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and smarthome/internet of things. My project ideas broadly fall into these categories. Some projects I am interested in include:

• Developing a web application for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori-style religious education program for children. The app would need to have multiple users and admin functionality, and allow users to input information about each child and what has been covered with them. Additionally, it would generate a curriculum graphic that shows, for a given child, what information has been covered, what is available next (since information has prerequisites), and what is still left to do.
• Developing an application that would allow a researcher to control a camera and robot in another room during an experiment (e.g., panning the camera for another view, having the robot interject with a particular utterance).
